The writers have poignantly deployed their creative ingenuities towards raising social consciousness against the bourgeois economy which imposes a politics of asymmetry, parasitism and stratification on the economic thought of the African society that once projected a communal spirit. Considering the precarious conditions of Africa's economy due to the pernicious effects of capitalism, it is imperative to examine the sordidness of classism, alienated labour, commodification or thingification of the underclass and other bourgeois tensions in African literature, as portrayed by these writers. Marxist theoretical models of economic determinism and historical materialism are discussed as the simulacrum of Vilfredo Pareto's 80/20 Rule or Pareto Principle. Though Marxists are fixated on revolution as the only solution to end the misery of the underclass and terminate the hegemony of the oligarchy that exploits sellers of labour, the paper advocates economic revivalism through the exploration of the opportunities offered by the communal mode of production</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="sl">Članek obravnava poetiki dveh vodilnih afriških piscev, katerih literarna senzibilnost izkazuje očitne marksistične konceptualne modele. Pisca svoje ustvarjalne sposobnosti usmerjata v oblikovanje družbene zavesti, naperjene proti buržoazni ekonomiji, ki je v ekonomsko misel afriške družbe, za katero je bil nekoč značilen kolektivni duh, nasilno vnesla politiko asimetrije, zajedavstva in razslojenosti. Z vidika negotovosti, ki so jo v afriški ekonomiji povzročili škodljivi učinki kapitalizma, je v okviru književnosti nujno izpostaviti pokvarjenost razredne razslojenosti, odtujenega dela, komodifikacije in stvarifikacije najnižjega razreda ter drugih buržoaznih napetosti. Marksistični teoretski modeli ekonomskega determinizma in historičnega materializma so obravnavani kot simulaker Paretovega načela 80/20. Čeprav marksisti izpostavljajo revolucijo kot edini način za odpravo trpljenja in revščine najnižjih razredov ter uničenje nadvlade oligarhije, ki izkorišča delavce, se v članku zavzemam za oživitev nekdanjih ekonomskih praks in raziskujem možnosti, ki jih ponuja skupnostni model proizvodnje</dc:description><edm:type>TEXT</edm:type><dc:type xml:lang="sl">znanstveno časopisje</dc:type><dc:type xml:lang="en">journals</dc:type><dc:type rdf:resource="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785" /></edm:ProvidedCHO><ore:Aggregation rdf:about="http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-GYCBZN6C"><edm:aggregatedCHO rdf:resource="URN:NBN:SI:doc-GYCBZN6C" /><edm:isShownBy rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-GYCBZN6C/9e3f7d18-6523-4283-8418-b4032429c230/PDF" /><edm:rights rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" /><edm:provider>Slovenian National E-content Aggregator</edm:provider><edm:intermediateProvider xml:lang="en">National and University Library of Slovenia</edm:intermediateProvider><edm:dataProvider xml:lang="sl">Univerza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba</edm:dataProvider><edm:object rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-GYCBZN6C/maxi/edm" /><edm:isShownAt rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-GYCBZN6C" /></ore:Aggregation></rdf:RDF>
