Résumé :

Drawing on Cornell West’s concept of black nihilism, this paper analyses August Wilson’s Fences, putting forward the rhetoric of black psychological annihilation and the way the author suggests an infusion of hope, breaking the metaphorical or psychological enslavement of the African American for a positive change. The change is built out of death, or metaphor of death that abounds in the play, as it is the case in most of August Wilson’s plays.
