A review by emoweaboo
Le Sanglot de l'homme noir by Alain Mabanckou
2.0
2.5/5
Looking back into this book, I remember that the most interesting part of it was the references to other black authors. I'm not black so not directly concerned, but a lot of his arguments just don't sit well with me. Very meh book.
____
Definitely an interesting bunch of thoughts. In this book, Mabanckou tries to redefine what it means to be black in France today. Lots of interesting references that I want to look into, and a lot of bits I found really interesting. It's not groundbreaking for me, but I'm glad I picked it up ?
