In this study, the pejorative implications of the ambiguity in which Batouala and its author are identified are refuted. It is demonstrated that the work’s controversial Preface-novel relationship obeys the structural and rhythmic imperatives of Africa’s speech-music interchangeability, to which jazz also defers.
