요약This dissertation examines how sub-Saharan African French-language authors represent the school and its impact on the memory, identity, family, and community of schooled children and adults. The fundamental role played by the colonial school in the mission civilisatrice is widely acknowledged in historical, educational, and literary studies. However, African writers' continual and conspicuous fixation on the school in their literature indicates a more complex posture toward the institution that merits renewed understandings. By scrutinizing the school's systems, structures, and epistemologies as they appear in literary form, this dissertation re-problematizes the Western-model educational institution, unveiling those subtle carriers of coloniality that persist in contemporary contexts.Attentive to the varied sociocultural factors, historical contexts, and intersectional identities that inform how authors take on school, I trace shifts in its representation across a temporally and geographically diverse corpus. By examining the literary portrayals of the school and schooled children in Camara Laye's L'Enfant noir (1953), Mongo Beti's Mission terminee (1957), Cheikh Hamidou Kane's L' Aventure ambigue (1961), Ken Bugul's Le Baobab fou (1982), Scholastique Mukasonga's Notre-Dame du Nil (2012), and Fatou Diome's Le Ventre de l' Atlantique (2003), I shed light on how coloniality is coded into the school's spaces, pedagogies, and knowledges but also into some of the narratives themselves. I illustrate that while the "classic" works muster less resistance to colonial education, contemporary authors challenge the designs of the (post)colonial school and even harness schooling for counterhegemonic ends. Engaging with concepts of modernity/coloniality, epistemic disobedience, and re-existence explored by decolonial thinkers like Walter Mignolo, Catherine Walsh, and Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni, I uncover how these authors inscribe feats of resistance and re-existence that delink from or wield schooling. I reveal if their critiques signify a decolonial turn in contemporary appraisals of the school. As modern discourses of "progress" and "development" claim school instruction as an absolute good in the Global South, these authors expose the "decolonial cracks" in the institution, making way for modes of thinking, learning, and being beyond the Western model.
