Norbert Zongo est un journaliste et écrivain burkinabè né en 1949, il est assassiné en 1998. Convaincu de sa mission pour son pays, Norbert Zongo va très tôt s'engager dans la vie politique de son pays en dénonçant, en condamnant et en luttant contre les abus et les dérives du régime de son temps. Fondateur du journal hebdomadaire L'Indépendant et auteur de deux romans (Le Parachutage et Rougbêinga), il mènera un combat farouche contre tous les maux sociaux et sociétaux de son époque tel un héros sans peur du prix à payer. Zongo est non seulement une figure emblématique de la justice et de la liberté de presse dans son pays mais il est aussi un symbole d'espoir pour toute l'Afrique qui accueille à coeur ouvert ce héraut, héros éternel. Le présent ouvrage, Norbert Zongo: l'homme et l'oeuvre, a le mérite de rendre hommage à ce grand homme distingué en mettant en lumière l'ensemble de ses productions: littéraires et journalistiques. Il est divisé en deux parties. La première étudie les productions littéraires de l'homme Zongo au moyen de plusieurs grilles d'analyse des textes et la seconde interroge ses productions journalistiques sous plusieurs angles. Composé d'une dizaine d'articles, cet ouvrage, se situant au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines, offre des clés susceptibles de comprendre le legs de Zongo ainsi que ses combats à un lecteur pluriel.
Norbert Zongo is a Burkinabe journalist and writer born in 1949, he was assassinated in 1998. Convinced of his mission for his country, Norbert Zongo very early on became involved in the political life of his country by denouncing, condemning and fighting against the abuses and excesses of the regime of his time. Founder of the weekly newspaper L'Indépendant and author of two novels (Le Parachutage and Rougbêinga), he led a fierce fight against all the social and societal ills of his time like a hero unafraid of the price to pay. Zongo is not only an emblematic figure of justice and freedom of the press in his country but he is also a symbol of hope for all of Africa which welcomes with an open heart this herald, eternal hero. This book, Norbert Zongo: the man and the work, has the merit of paying tribute to this great and distinguished man by highlighting all of his productions: literary and journalistic. It is divided into two parts. The first examines Zongo's literary output using several text analysis frameworks, and the second examines his journalistic output from several perspectives. Composed of around ten articles, this work, situated at the crossroads of several disciplines, offers keys to understanding Zongo's legacy and his struggles to a diverse reader.
