Récit de soi et latence langagière dans Mes hommes à moi de Ken Bugul
Danielle VALLA KAMENI KWENTE

Abstract
In her novel Mes hommes à moi, Ken Bugul, through the narrator, exposes the problem of her sexuality and the effects of colonization. In an attempt to understand the relationship between self-narrative and the latency of the author’s discourse, i ask myself in what way the self-story reveals the emancipation of the author and at the same time the truths of the world?
