Portrait of the new being
Reflection on Man in the Djiboutian context
Serious philosophy requires reflection based on a specific place and time. Such is the case in this book. From Djibouti - an independent country since 1977 after more than a century of colonisation - the author rightly questions the human condition.
Carried by the traditional cultural mould but turning it to his own advantage, caught up in new habits (such as the spread of khat consumption), using religion without discernment, allowing himself to be manipulated by a socio-political framework that perpetuates his weaknesses : what is man worth ? What awareness does he have of himself and of others ? What does he do and what does he want ?
Abdourahman Barkat God, born in Djibouti in 1960, first taught as a primary school teacher, then, after obtaining a DEA (post-graduate diploma) in 2003, as a French teacher at the Lycée d'Etat in Djibouti. He obtained his doctorate in literature in 2010 and then worked in the language department of the Centre d'études et de recherche de Djibouti (CERD).
