An analysis of one of francophone Africa's most celebrated novels -- Cheikh Hamidou Kane's Ambiguous Adventure (no publication data given). Against the facile universalism & idealist orientation of recent criticism, which obscures the specific tensions that helped create this vision, & the ahistorical particularism of earlier studies that see it as the expression of a timeless African, if not black, condition, the novel's tragic vision is firmly rooted in its social & political context. The structure of the tragic in the novel is described, & a historical/sociological explanation is provided. The class relations within Diallobe society (Senegal), the ideological role of Islam in consecrating them, their dynamic within the colonial context, & the ensuing tragic consciousness to which their disruption gives rise are all examined. It is concluded that the weakening of Islam by Western education aided not only in the destruction of a religion & the sense of psychological well-being it provided, as the novel indicates, but also in the dislocation of the ideological foundations of political, economic, & social power. It is in the context of this change in power relations within Diallobe society that the novel's tragic vision should be sought, & not in some atemporal tragic cast of mind of the African. 34 References.

The people have a long history of being hostile to outsiders, wrote Louis Jaffe, Harvard law professor, about the inhabitants of Boston's South End. As a consultant to the Massachusetts Department of Education Jaffe urged that the impending federal court desegregation ruling exempt "Southie" from any busing plan. Jaffe's warnings went unheeded, and the buses rolled between the overwhelming black Roxbury ghetto and the neighboring, predominantly Irish South End, sparking an onslaught of racial violence one journalist described as "unparalleled in modern Boston history, a day of hatred against outsiders not witnessed here in decades."
