Il est important, toutefois, de ne pas rejeter en bloc tous les ouvrages d'une production qui n'a rien d'homogène; de distinguer les manœuvres visant expressément à réduire la population africaine au silence afin de museler toute opposition, des efforts fournis par un certain nombre d'individus cherchant à restituer aux opprimés leur droit à être entendus.
