AB  - This article examines the role of screens in Le Moabi cinéma by Cameroonian author Blick Bassy (2016) and De purs hommes by Senegalese writer Mohamed Mbougar Sarr (2018). Dedicated to the theme of immigration for the first, to the sensitive subject of homosexuality in Africa for the second, these novels consider screens as "black mirrors" reflecting the paradoxes of sub-Saharan societies, while remaining fully in line with the African francophone literature published in the previous decades.
