On the occasion of the Francophonie Week 2018, the Alliance Française had the honor to welcome the presentation of the new book by Dr. Sylvie Coly, "La Sénégambie, carrefour des poètes : Représentations de l’Afrique d’hier à demain."

At the crossroads that bring together two countries, two literatures, two eras, between yesterday and tomorrow, Sylvie Coly knew how to listen to a voice that rose up cajolous, criticize, vehement, but always passionate - that of a poetry determined to testify issues and problems of his time. This polyphone voice offers a vision that is not reduced to Senegal and Gambia. It is consubstantial with Africa, a vast denominator which remains common to writers even in its infinite differences.
