Yahiaoui, OuassilaMaamri, Fatima2020-01-302020-01-302019http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/9006This research study discusses the intellectual parallelism between William Edward Burghardt Du Bois and Frantz Fanon through a critical reading of The Souls of Black Folk and The Wretched of the Earth respectively. It illustrates how this intellectual affinity is reflected in their philosophical conceptualization of such themes as identity, leadership and liberation. Selected excerpts from The Stone Face, a social protest novel by William Gardner Smith set in Paris, will be interwoven within this Mémoire. Bits of authentic conversations between Simeon and his African-American expatriate friends, as representative of The Souls of Black Folk, and Ahmed and his Algerian revolutionary friends, as representative of The Wretched of the Earth, will be disclosed to the reader.enColonialismAlienationDouble consciousnessOther
