About this book

Ghana, 1956. Nous sommes à la veille de l'indépendance. Nathaniel Amegbe est professeur dans une école ghanéenne plutôt médiocre. Johnnie Kestoe est comptable dans une firme textile britannique à Accra. Les deux hommes s'affronteront autour de la question de l'« africanisation », cette politique de passation des responsabilités entre Britanniques et Ghanéens.

De l'autre côté du Jourdain est le premier roman de Margaret Laurence, cette matriarche de la littérature. Cette traduction est une invitation à découvrir une facette méconnue de l'œuvre d'une grande écrivaine qui, pendant son séjour en Afrique de 1950 à 1956, a su capter tout l'espoir et les bouleversements imposés par les indépendances africaines à l'ordre du monde.

Mais avant tout, il s'agit d'une invitation à découvrir une Afrique fébrile, des personnages attachants, le tout écrit avec un talent incontestable, dans une pluralité de voix à couper le souffle.

Réflexion sur l'indépendance, tant intérieure que politique, De l'autre côté du Jourdain annonçait déjà les grands romans emblématiques de Laurence, dont, L'ange de pierre et Les devins.
