%X L'article examine l'existence pr¨¦caire des Aloukous de Guyane, descendants d'esclaves marrons. L'¨¦tude est bas¨¦e sur le roman de Roland Brival, Le dernier des Aloukous, un des rares ¨¦crivains qui a rendu hommage ¨¤ ce peuple oubli¨¦ de l'Histoire et menac¨¦ par la modernisation et l'assimilation. Il examine aussi les probl¨¦matiques de la d¨¦forestation, de la d¨¦territorialisation ainsi que l'importance des rituels et des dieux dans la culture des Aloukous. The article examines the precarious existence of the Alukus, a population based in Guyana, and the descendants of maroons slaves. The study is based on a novel by Roland Brival, one of the few writers from the French Caribbean who has paid a tribute to this ethnic group threatened by modernization and urbanization. It also examines issues of deforestation, deterritorialization, and the importance of rituals and gods in the Alukus' culture.
