The author examines the theme of resistance to acculturation in the work of Mongo Beti. For the novelist resistance has two sources: western culture and clan traditions. In his writings published before independence, he treats resistance in an optimistic manner as a sign of the vitality of a people. In subsequent work, however, the tenor is pessimistic. In his last novel Mongo Beti suggests a solution to the acculturation dilemma: “a black messiah for black people.”
