O knihe

Language is at the center of social dynamics since it is the instrument, par excellence, of rapprochement and cohesion between individuals and the communities who share it. Language can also become a powerful tool of domination. In the current globalized context, the language relies on information and communication technologies (ICT) to disseminate informative and cultural content. Also, this information is formatted in languages ¿¿with a tradition of writing, the only ones spoken and understood by ICT. In this context, ICTs offer themselves, paradoxically, as an accelerator of the cultural alienation of peoples without writing, especially those of black Africa. Faced with this ambivalence inherent in ICTs, writer Ayi Kwei Armah advocates mechanisms inspired by Africa's millennial tradition to create a pan-African language and writing capable of standing up to comparison in The Resolutionaries (2013). Thus, Africa can reasonably appropriate these ICTs for the safeguard, the formatting, the teaching and the perpetuation of its values.
