The novel won the Prix Goncourt, one of France's highest literary awards, making Maran the first black author to win that honor.[1] SummaryBatouala was written by René Maran, French Guyanese poet, in 1921. It focused heavily on the life of the chieftain Boutala and his attempts to keep a young man who was challenging him away from his wife.[1] Batouala has been praised for its accuracy to the life of the Bandas.The shows the life of the Bandas including their food and celebrations, and describes how they live in a continuous cycle as the white man tries to take control over nature. Every year the rainy season comes with death and destruction, and this is considered a part of life to the tribes. Boualata also speaks about the French forcing the Bandas into slavery on their railroads and in their rubber plantations, which causes the tribe to live in poverty and disease as they don't have proper time to tend to their crops.[1] ImpactBatouala earned Maran the prize of the Prix Goncourt, making him the first black author to earn the prestigious French prize.[2] The preface of Batouala contains critiques of French Colonial abuses, and due to this it was banned from French colonies.[1] Despite the racial themes in the novel Maran says it was not written to show a battle between black and white but instead it was written to tell the story of two men fighting over a woman.[2] SettingBatouala is set in the Grimari village in the southern part of French Equatorial Africa's Ubangi-Shari colony, now the Central African Republic.
