This paper deals with ‘political realm’ as a literary theme in African literature. It purports to evidence the manifestations of political power in Henri Lopes’ The Laughing Cry and Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah. The exploration of these novels from two post-colonial different linguistic areas reveals howthe political power is manifested throughout an absolute exercise the struggle for its preservation. This abuse and the misuse of the political power by the postcolonial ruling elites pave the way to the peasant masses’ disenchantment and the reign of social disorder that Africa is still struggling to get rid of. As a final assessment, this study posits the two analyzed works as political novels.
