This admission further clarifies how the information collected during their trek across Africa was filtered through the minds of intellectuals who found conversation about the great works of the European literary tradition irresistible, even once they arrived in the long-awaited African bush.

What this statement belies is how their center of gravity remained European and that his was cause for dismay. Such a view may be ethically and conceptually appealing, but it obscures what had to be overcome on the other end of the equation by the colonized. It is very evident that cross-cultural dialogue has taken place and that it led to cultural change, aesthetic innovation, and a dynamic that transformed actors on both sides of the colonial divide.

However, the cultural adjustments that have come as a result should not be overestimated as they have been partial, incremental and are still incomplete. What is of crucial importance and too often neglected by models of cultural solipsism is the degree to which French ideas were changed by input from the colonies. These models of cultural interpretation are useful for foregrounding dynamics of self-interest, desire, and projection, but their focus on one-way agency cannot account for cross-cultural innovation and change over time.

He spares neither the Europeans nor the natives his ironic humor rendered with an adroit use of descriptive detail: He takes a particular interest in their dreams: Note taking becomes his ultimate refuge: In the middle of Dogon country, Leiris comments on news about the status of Surrealist dissidence: As Leiris describes his change in perspective he, like Breton, refers to his experience of the Second World War: The effects of travel are significant here because it was only once Gide found himself literally confronted with the reality of colonial methods in the present-day Congo-Brazzaville that he became politically involved in contesting French colonialism.

In his case, the terms with which Gide contested the social injustices he encountered in Africa still did not take into account the culture or ethnicity of the populations colonized by France even after his to the region. For more discussion, see C lark
