\"\"<\/a>Dans un discours prononc\u00e9 en 1960 devant l\u2019assembl\u00e9e de l\u2019UNESCO, l\u2019\u00e9crivain et anthropologue malien Amadou Hamp\u00e2t\u00e9 B\u00e2 affirme qu\u2019\u00ab En Afrique, quand un vieillard meurt, c’est toute une biblioth\u00e8que qui br\u00fble \u00bb, en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au r\u00f4le phare de la tradition orale dans la culture africaine. Gardien de l\u2019histoire et de la culture africaines, le vieillard est, par essence, dans l’imaginaire africain, un symbole de la sagesse, de l’humilit\u00e9 et une r\u00e9serve de savoirs.<\/p>\n

Avec le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de l\u2019immense \u00e9crivain ha\u00eftien Frank\u00e9tienne survenu le jeudi 20 f\u00e9vrier 2025 \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 89 ans, c\u2019est tout un pan de l\u2019histoire et de la culture ha\u00eftiennes qui s\u2019en va. Auteur du premier roman ha\u00eftien en langue cr\u00e9ole, Dezafi, <\/em>paru en 1975 en plein c\u0153ur de la dictature Duvalier pour d\u00e9noncer, de mani\u00e8re voil\u00e9e, le totalitarisme et l\u2019arbitraire, Frank\u00e9tienne est \u00e0 Ha\u00efti ce que Jos\u00e9 Lezama Lima est \u00e0 Cuba et Pablo Neruda au Chili. \u00c0 propos du roman, Jean Jonassaint souligne dans la postface de la traduction anglaise r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Asselin Charles que c’est :<\/p>\n

\n

un texte d’une grande puissance po\u00e9tique et profond\u00e9ment ancr\u00e9 dans les traditions narratives populaires ha\u00eftiennes et la po\u00e9tique de la langue<\/em>[1]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pour sa part, Asselin Charles mentionne dans son introduction que\u00a0Dezafi <\/em>est :<\/p>\n

\n

peut-\u00eatre le plus important du canon Frank\u00e9tienne eu \u00e9gard \u00e0 sa signification historique en tant que premier roman publi\u00e9 en Krey\u00f2l ha\u00eftien, d’une part, et pour son originalit\u00e9 conceptuelle et stylistique, d’autre \u00a0part<\/em>[2]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Artiste total capital, comme il se pla\u00eet \u00e0 le dire, pour \u00e9voquer son immensitude, son \u0153uvre se veut un grand chant d’amour \u00e0 la vie paysanne, populaire, prol\u00e9taire et urbaine ha\u00eftiennes.<\/p>\n
