Need help with my writing homework on Anti-Colonialism and Affirmation of Nationalism. Write a 2250 word paper answering; This paper seeks to how deep Oyono goes insofar as anti-colonialism and affirmation of nationalism is concerned. Essentially, the novel is a narration of the story of a young black boy. The boy runs away from his tribal village captivated by the lifestyles of the white, and ultimately adopted by a Dangan missionary white priest, Father Gilbert. He receives education from the priest, and begins recording all his experiences, thinks and sees vis-a-vis his life as a young black servant in colonial Africa. When father Gilbert passes on due to an accident in the bush, the boy becomes the colony’s “Boy” of the commandant (Assah, 2005:452). The Boy serves the whites at their opulent city, Residence, and lives in the Black Quarters (Quartier Noir), thus has a vintage point of observing all things around him, consequently seeing the truth about white. His illusion and admiration for whites slowly fades away. Oyono uses a transparent and simple incident where Toundi sees the Commandant naked, realizing he is not circumcised. This incidents act as an illustration of how the boy starts to strip away the grandeur and nobility o the whites. Through Toundi, the reader sees how different societies co-exist forcefully and blinded by the “other” stereotypes.
