Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 6 page research paper/essay that discusses Ambiguous Adventure by Cheikh Hamidou Kane, a novel that traces the coming of age of Samba Diallo, a member of the Diallobe tribal aristocracy who is considered by this elders to be his people’s best hope for a spiritual leader. As this suggests, this novel addresses a decisive moment in the colonial conquest of Africa, as Samba’s story encompasses the all-important theme of cultural assimilation and how an African people can retain their own identity in the face of Western dominance. Close analysis of Kane’s novel demonstrates how the structure and the character development serve to complement this overall theme. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
