Abstract:
This essay is based on the novel Le Nègre et l’Amiral by Raphaël
Confiant. It takes into consideration the role of the radio as a media
during the Second World War in Martinique and the part played by the
propaganda. The analysis focuses on the characters’ urge to listen to the
news, despite the prohibition to listen to the forbidden broadcasting
stations, also despite the difficulties in tuning in the right wavelength
and in understanding the radio speech (in French and in English). The
analyses shows how the characters’ patriotism is due to a cultural enslavement,
giving rise to an extraordinary confusion in their political
ideas. On one hand the value of the white speech is questioned, often
providing contradictions and incomprehensibility, on the other hand the
black speech is praised, for revealing itself more authentic and beautifully
inventive. The written word form of the novel writing is eventually
approached to point out the difficult and remarkable work of the writer,
combining the oral creole speech in a literary text.
