Abstract
This research paper is principally
intended to comprehensively
examine the contribution of
Eurocentric literature to the
emergence of African Post colonial
Literature. Most Western critics had
a firm belief that African literature
was a reaction to the distorted image
of Africa as portrayed in the Western
Eurocentric literature. The present
article thoroughly discusses the
African reaction to the Eurocentric
portrayal of Africa and the Africans
which had often tended to portray all
that is African in an extremely
negative way to the Western reader.
The research focuses on Algerian
literature as a case study.
