Abstract:

 In the early 2000s, the Guinean writer Tierno Monénembo came across an article in the press about a tribute ceremony for Mamadou Hady Bah. Bah was a Guinean-born soldier/ rifleman who became a hero of the French resistance during World War II. In 2012, inspired by this historical figure, Monénembo wrote his novel Le terroriste noir (The Black Terrorist), dedicating it to the Senegalese soldiers/ riflemen. In a perspective that resists an oversimplification of reality, this article aims to explore how Monénembo challenges dominant narratives and invites his readers to reflect on and reconsider both history in general and war in particular. This approach will examine Monénembo’s reconfiguration of the Senegalese soldiers/ riflemen and highlight the representation of war.
