Abstract

This article, dealing with Etienne Goyemide's story La vengeance noire, is a social, theological and literary study on the way in which the very complex phenomenon of witchcraft is shown in the literature of Central Africa. As shown in the story, this phenomenon is tightly connected to orality. In the Central African world, in spite of an advanced scientific and technical culture, myths, legends and mainly witchcraft hold an important place in collective imagination and continue to inspire literary works.
