Les impatientes by Djaïli Amadou Amal: Between Enunciation and Denunciation of Patriarchy

The aim of this paper is to analyse how Djaïli Amadou Amal’s novel, in describing the life of women among the Fulani of northern Cameroon, denounces cultural and religious practices embodied by men and which are dehumanising for women. Using the scene of enunciation constructed in and by the text, and a plural enunciation that gives voice to Fulani culture in the novel, the writing lays bare the abuses of men’s absolute power.
