• Resumen

  • Today, disability is a recognized issue globally, popular and quite widespread in various disciplines. A lot of work is done to highlight the difficulties and rights of disabled people. Literature reflects this reality by representing the sufferings, needs and progress of disabled people. Most discussions of disability have focused mainly on the physical aspect and little attention has been paid to other varieties of disability, such as social and legal. This article is an attempt to fill this gap. It analyses Fatou Diome’s Celles qui attendent and the other dimensions of disability that inspired the novelist. Using the legal approach proposed by Oladitan to explore literary texts and liberation literary principles also advocated by Oladitan, this study proposes to contextualize and categorize the characters of Diome as disabled people deprived from their fundamental rights and demonstrates the strategies of liberation adopted by disabled people.
