摘要
African historiography seeks to rewrite the past using its own paradigms, thereby deconstructing the vision imposed by the Other. This implies a search for the truth, a notion on which there is little consensus. African youth literature is also a stakeholder in the African struggle to decolonise history. This article examines the issues involved in the representation of history and memory in that literature.
