Envisioned as a criticism of and insider's guide to African history, this dark, pugancious epic, spanning the thirteenth to the twentieth century, recounts the fate of the imaginary empire of Nakem. In its acerbic pen portraits of the dynasty of devious, asp-wielding Sa???fs who reign in Nakem, visiting white exploiters and saviours, and persecuted citizens - especially the tragicomic, Paris-educated hero Raymond-Spartacus Kassoumi - Bound to Violence is a biting satire of unusual and alarming power. In this new edition, professor and award-winning documentary filmmaker Ch???rif Ke???ta provides invaluable context for the novel, whose publication in the West was mired by accusations of plagiarism, fraught with racist undertones. What emerges is a thrillingly excessive, defiant novel that paints a universally relevant portrait of sex, violence, and power in human relationships. Translated by Ralph Manheim
