René Maran's Batouala: Jazz-Text

By Susan Isabelle Allen

In this study, the pejorative implications of the ambiguity in which Batouala and its author are identified are refuted. It is demonstrated that the work's controversial Preface-novel relationship obeys the structural and rhythmic imperatives of Africa's speech-music interchangeability, to which jazz also defers.
