L'aventure ambiguë di Cheikh Hamidou Kane 'Samba Diallo is a victim of forces beyond his control'. Discuss this vision of the protagonist of L'aventure ambiguë. In L'aventure ambiguë, the colonization of Senegal by the French led to different and often conflicting views of different characters, clashes of different cultures and religious practices, as well as the education provided by the Diallobé and new foreign schools. These few examples are useful in explaining the term 'victim', i.e. what he is a victim of, and then how these forces may have influenced him throughout history. To simplify this essay, my essay will mainly focus on “Westernization” and “Africanism”, as I believe all these factors fall under these headings.
