The paper deals with several forms of censorship and self-censorship and examines the diverse reasons of the prohibition or restriction of a literary work. We have chosen three Cameroonian novelists, Ferdinand Oyono, Mongo Beti and Patrice Nganang and described how and by whom their novels or essays have been persecuted. The three novelists represent two generations of African literature of protest, “engaged” literature. They wrote against colonialism and later against the dictatorship established in Cameroon. But their political and social commitments were varied, which largely influenced their public image.

The essay examines the importance of the so-called forbidden word “nègre”, its history, meanings, significations, and, most importantly, its translations into Czech and English. The essay will examine three Sub-Saharan novels from different eras written in French, and their translations done by different translators, to establish the general conclusion. The essay will explain, through analysis of different extracts, how the translation which is does not take the word in question into consideration is deprived of several semantic nuances.

Today, it is perfectly possible to establish a corpus of sub-Saharan francophone authors of autobiographical novels who are already considered to be the classics of African literatures. The main characters, young Africans fascinated by French culture, suffer from identity alienation and spiritual degradation which causes a process of decomposition followed by an artificial re-composition of their past. The homeland, Africa, as a point of reference, is lost in this process. The protagonist isolates himself from his milieu and it is no more possible to distinguish whether he ignores or refuses his past in homeland. In this article, we will analyze the involuntary reminiscences occurring when the main character is in Paris. Those fragments of memory force him to reconsider his status, origins and allegiance.
