The current paper deals with the reading of dimension of identity within ‘’ Ici ça va’’ belonging to Charles Djungu - Simba, a renowned Congolese star of literature for the last two decades. To carry out this study, we have had recourse to two approaches including: socio-critical and thematic methods. The interest resides in the fact that in this activity, the image of a Negro as represented in this novel reveals two facets: national identity as well as a borrowing one. A black man is violently bloated; the identity in this novel has become a motif to justify an exile. After setting a conceptual device, this article focuses on two major aspects: on one hand, the painting of African power as the source of chaos, on the other hand, the eradication clash to justify the identity crisis in the host country. The text questions the pertinence of words used in the narrative.
Author Keywords: dimension, identity, exile, eradication.

Abstract
The current paper deals with the reading of dimension of identity within ‘’ Ici ça va’’ belonging to Charles Djungu - Simba, a renowned Congolese star of literature for the last two decades. To carry out this study, we have had recourse to two approaches including: socio-critical and thematic methods. The interest resides in the fact that in this activity, the image of a Negro as represented in this novel reveals two facets: national identity as well as a borrowing one. A black man is violently bloated; the identity in this novel has become a motif to justify an exile. After setting a conceptual device, this article focuses on two major aspects: on one hand, the painting of African power as the source of chaos, on the other hand, the eradication clash to justify the identity crisis in the host country. The text questions the pertinence of words used in the narrative.
Author Keywords: dimension, identity, exile, eradication.
Abstract: (french)
Le présent article est une lecture de la dimension de l’identité dans Ici ça va de Charles Djungu-Simba, une étoile congolaise déjà perchée de la littérature congolaise de ces vingt dernières années. Pour réaliser cette étude, nous avons fait recours aux approches sociocritique, thématique et stylistique. L’intérêt réside dans le fait que cette activité, l’image du nègre telle que représentée dans ce roman affiché deux facettes : l’identité nationale et celle d’emprunt ; l’homme noir est violemment balloté, l’identité étant devenue, dans ce roman un motif pour justifier l’exil. Après avoir mis en place les balises conceptuelles, l’article se focalisera sur deux aspects principaux : d’une part, la peinture du pouvoir africain comme source du chaos, d’autre part, le choc du déracinement pour justifier la crise identitaire dans le pays d’accueil. Le texte s’interroge sur la pertinence des mots utilisés dans le roman.
Author Keywords: Dimension, identité, exil, déracinement.
