| Abstrakt: | AbstractThis article uses Wolof idioms related to Senegalese migration to France such as dem ci kaaw bi(to go to the cave/France) and dem Jolof(to go back to Jolof/Senegal) in order to read Fatou Diome's Le ventre de l'Atlantique (The Belly of the Atlantic). It argues that the novel mimics the polysemy of these terms and coins a new one: toog Jolof(to stay/remain in Senegal) as an alternative to clandestine migration. |
