Individual, Identity and Interculturality in Mongo Beti’s Completed Mission

Abstract

This paper is intended to be an analytical study of African identity and culture in Mongo Beti’s Completed Mission. It aims to shed light on the specificity of this society, the place that the individual occupies there and the transformations that it suffered with the arrival of the colonizer. It focuses first of all on the characters of the novel and their attributions in order to know how the social group, to which these entities belong, is constituted, structured and hierarchized. It then reconstructs the cultural aspects of black man’s life as suggested by the text.
