Özet:

Africans were interested in Arabic literature in its various arts, especially the art of Arabic poetry, and they paid special attention to it. There is no doubt that this poetry written by these people includes almost all the aims of Arabic poetry, including praise, pride, rebuke, describing and showing sadness, sorrow, longing, nostalgia, and others. From this standpoint, our study aimed to address the aspect of nostalgia in the poetry of sub-Saharan Africa, specifically the western region of the continent, as well as seeking to demonstrate the meanings of nostalgia and its various themes that it included while shedding light on the motives of nostalgia poetry and the reasons for its spread in the region's literature. The researcher has reached through the study several results, including that African poets have touched on the phenomenon of nostalgia in their various poems, and entered its walls from the widest range and sincerest emotion, expressing their feelings with charming words and sweet melodies. Longing and nostalgia for a family loved ones and homelands is one of the most important themes of nostalgia that abounds in Arab-African poetry. The trip, arrest, and deportation were among the reasons for the spread of this poetic color in Africa. It should be noted that the most important meanings of nostalgia in the region’s poetry are the longing of the African poet for his homeland, his depiction of farewell scenes that broke his heart, the effect of this alienation on the soul of the expatriate, and the description of what the expatriate suffers during his expatriation, and his remembrance of his happy days at home, youth and youth playgrounds, and others.
