The book recreates the imaginaries of present-day Africa, from the picturesque absurdity of daily life to the political economics of marriage, from the philosophy of menus and table manners to the uses of the body. This welter of stories and ideas illustrates various forms of nihilism and negritude and sketches the hypothesis of an ethic of evil.--$$cProvided by publisher 000867644 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000867644 650_0 $$aBlacks$$xRace identity. 000867644 650_0 $$aNihilism (Philosophy) 000867644 650_0 $$aSocial ethics$$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan. 000867644 651_0 $$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$$xCivilization. 000867644 651_0 $$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$$xSocial life and customs. 000867644 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMonga, Célestin.$$sNihilisme et négritude.
