Does a colonized people have “honour”? For the colonizers, this feeling (if such a somewhat weak word can be used) was simply one of susceptibility, but there was a code of honour in Wolof and Toucouleur society before the arrival of the Europeans and its imperatives varied from caste to caste. The noble, or “man of honour”, lost everything as soon as he lied — even the right to live. Only suicide could restore, this loss, and an offended man — even if he had done nothing dishonourable — had to wash the stain in his own blood
