The Dakar-Djibouti expedition, led by Marcel Griaule, crossed Africa between 1931 and 1933. One of the participants was Michel Leiris, a young poet who had just severed his relations with the surrealist avantgarde and was in the throes of a personal crisis. This paper is about his experience in that joumey of discovery of himself, of the other and of ethnography. Representation and margination: these are the themes that will endure in L'Afrique fantôme as well as in Leiris' other writings about the Dogon and the Zar cult.
