Kemerdekaan Kongo pada tahun 1960 tidak berarti kebebasan bagi bangsa Kongo dari pengaruh Prancis sepenuhnya. Di Kongo, kebudayaan Prancis masih menjadi rujukan untuk cara berpakaian yang necis dan gaya hidup yang mewah. Keberadaan komunitas La Sape menjadi sebuah tren untuk mengekspresikan diri melalui cara berbusana bagi masyarakat Kongo. Novel Tais-Toi et Meurs (2012) karya Alain Mabanckou menceritakan tokoh Julien Makambo, orang Kongo yang hidup di Paris dengan mengubah identitasnya menjadi José Monfort demi menjadi seorang Sapeur sejati. Lewat novel ini, disajikan potret mengenai gaya hidup mewah diaspora Kongo yang dengan titel Sapeur yang mereka miliki beserta cara mereka bertahan hidup di sana, meski harus menjadi kriminal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap kedok La Sape yang telah menjadi budaya bangsa Kongo dan cara Sapeur bertahan hidup melalui perspektif wacana poskolonial dalam novel Tais-Toi et Meurs (2012). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan tekstual dan didukung oleh model fungsional dan skema aktan milik A. J. Greimas (1983). Teori identitas Stuart Hall (1994) dan teori mimikri Homi Bhabha (1994) juga digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebagai dasar dari wacana poskolonial. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa La Sape yang dianggap sebagai simbol kebebasan dari penjajahan justru merupakan peneguhan kolonialisme dan inferioritas yang menyebabkan para Sapeur terus melakukan mimikri pada gaya hidup bangsa penjajah. ......Congo's independence in 1960 did not mean complete freedom for the Congolese nation from French influence. In the Congo, French culture is still a reference for dapper outfit and a luxurious lifestyle. The existence of the La Sape community has become a trend for self-expression through the attire of Congolese people. The novel Tais-Toi et Meurs (2012) by Alain Mabanckou tells of the character Julien Makambo, a Congolese living in Paris, by changing his identity to become José Monfort to become a true Sapeur. Through this novel, a portrait is presented of the luxurious lifestyle of the Congo diaspora with the title Sapeur that they have and how they survive there, even though they have to become criminals. This study aims to reveal the guise of La Sape, which has become the culture of the Congo people, and how Sapeur survives through the perspective of postcolonial discourse in the novel Tais-Toi et Meurs (2012). The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a textual approach and is supported by functional models and actan schemes belonging to A. J. Greimas (1983). Stuart Hall's (1994) identity theory and Homi Bhabha's (1994) mimicry theory are also used in this research as the basis of postcolonial discourse. The results of this study indicate that La Sape, considered a symbol of freedom from colonialism, is an affirmation of colonialism and inferiority which causes the Sapeurs to continue to mimic the lifestyle of the colonizers.

At a time when even much of the political left seems to believe that transnational capitalism is here to stay, Marxism, Modernity and Postcolonial Studies refuses to accept the inevitability of the so-called 'New World Order'. By giving substantial attention to topics such as globalisation, racism, and modernity, it provides a specifically Marxist intervention into postcolonial and cultural studies. An international team of contributors locate a common ground of issues engaging Marxist and postcolonial critics alike. Arguing that Marxism is not the inflexible, monolithic irrelevance some critics assume it to be, this collection aims to open avenues of debate - especially on the crucial concept of 'modernity' - which have been closed off by the widespread neglect of Marxist analysis in postcolonial studies. Politically focused, at times polemical and always provocative, this book is a major contribution to contemporary debates on literary theory, cultural studies, and the definition of postcolonial studies.
