Gaëlle Vutron (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "Le parfum de la Dame Noire : Physiologie humoristique de l'amour Africain" by Louis Sonolet is a work that appears to blend sociological commentary with elements of fiction, written in the early 20th century. The narrative likely explores themes of love and relationships within the context of West African culture, offering a humorous yet critical outlook on the dynamics between men and women in these societies. The story introduces characters such as Adda, a Black woman living in Africa, and Paul Bourgette, a white prospecteur who studies the psychology of women in this setting. At the start of the book, the narrator recounts his encounter with Paul Bourgette, who reveals his unusual mission of studying women rather than minerals in Africa. As the narrator journeys through West Africa with his wife Adda, they meet Bourgette, who embodies a humorous, eccentric figure devoted to the systematic exploration of female psychology. Bourgette discusses the nature of love among African peoples, suggesting that it lacks the passionate sentiment found in Europe and instead relies on practical considerations, such as economic status and reproductive potential. The opening establishes a satirical framework for the book, setting the stage for a deep dive into cultural observations regarding love, gender roles, and societal norms in West Africa.
