Les affres de Nakadia

Autor: Mamoudou Kabala Kaba Kabiné

Número de Páginas: 90

Nakadia n'a pas eu d'enfant. Aussi, à tort ou à raison, en dépit de toute la puissance reconnue de sa mère dans les sciences occultes, Nakadia est restée sans enfant. Elle aurait souhaité que ce bruit qui sourd derrière sa porte apporte une certaine prise de conscience de son mari qui, même quand la nuit retient complètement son souffle, pas une seule fois ne s'est égaré de ce côté. Certaine de sa solitude dans cette grande case vide, Nakadia, au risque de perdre la raison, devait absolument trouver une explication à cette situation. Alors, ce soir, cette nuit, elle étale sa vie, toute sa vie de ménage.

Autobiographie d'un écrivain swahili

Autor: Robert Shaaban

Número de Páginas: 144

En 1960, Shaaban Robert (1909-1962) est un écrivain reconnu. Il siège depuis 1946 à l'East African Swahili Committee et on le considère comme le plus talentueux promoteur d'une littérature swahilie moderne. Il sait que la publication d'une prose littéraire est nécessaire à la promotion du swahili comme langue de la modernité. Le récit autobiographique que l'on va lire est sous-tendu par une philosophie de la vie très précise, au confluent de multiples influences culturelles et religieuses.

Dans un Zaïre enfin débarrassé de la colonisation, une famille franco-belge tente de s'intégrer, sous le regard acéré et décalé d'une de ses enfants. Il s'agit de traiter d'égal à égal avec la population locale, mais peut-on se débarrasser si facilement de l'emprise d'une longue domination ? La narratrice décrit la violence de ce monde, les contradictions de ses parents coopérants et sa fuite dans un univers poétique, coloré, peuplé de bêtes et d'amples paysages. Le tout, dans le cadre somptueux des vastes terres d'Afrique centrale.

« Chez moi, c’est à dire chez les Soninkés du Mali, le soleil est très piquant. Il fait bien plus chaud qu’en France, mais on n’est pas mal, il y a du vent, et dans mon village il y a beaucoup plus d’eau qu’à Négali. On a des arbres et la terre est noire, on peut y cultiver le riz, car ça ne sèche pas. Les montagnes sont du côté de Mogarenio, un peu plus loin. Je pensais que c’étaient les montagnes les plus hautes du monde, et quand on m’a dit qu’en France il existait des montagnes plus hautes que chez moi, je n’ai pu le croire. La première saison est celle des cultures parce qu’il pleut. La deuxième saison n’a pas de pluies mais la terre reste un peu mouillée, et il fait toujours frais. Là où je suis née, la sécheresse n’est jamais terrible. C’est différent de Yélimané qui est bien plus connu, mais qui n’est pas un endroit pour construire une maison. Nous, on ne parle pas de Sahel, mais les Français en parlent souvent. Je viens de là, je suis une Soninké du Mali. » Cette femme qui parle est à Paris depuis seize ans. Elle correspond avec son village natal au moyen de cassettes vidéo. Elle organise chez elle des réunions...

Un prince mythique qui avance en trébuchant vers son destin inévitable, une fille du clan des Batsobe qui devient femme à la Cour royale avant l'arrivée des Blancs et un patriarche qui relate l'histoire du rebelle au début de la colonisation. Les personnes 'du barbu', 'du vieux' et de 'la Muzuka' vivent environ 20 ans après le génocide. C'est un petit oiseau, un colibri, et la musique qui lient les différentes narrations et qui, ensemble, offrent une autre image du Rwanda, que celle du génocide, car ce mal absolu a eu un avant qui l'annonce, et a aussi un après parce que la vie a continué, malgré tout. La beauté et la joie s'enchevêtrent avec le drame et l'horreur dans ce livre, qui est partiellement historique, partiellement fictif, et est épicé par des contes du pays et qui plongent aussi dans la culture rwandaise.

Número de Páginas: 108

Kidega is a former child soldier who grew up in Acholiland, in the village of Acaya. All Kidega ever dreamed of was playing football for Kampala City Council FC (KCC) just like Latigo. (Latigo originates from Kitgum District in Northern Uganda; he captivated the nation with his football [soccer] talent. What Michael Jordan achieved in basketball, Latigo achieved in soccer.) But then, at the age of thirteen, Kidegas life was eclipsed by the death of his family and his abduction and training as a soldier. Kidega undergoes Mato Oput, a cleansing ceremony, in his journey of forgiveness and reconciliation. Kidega remembered Ladit Naptali Ocoos words: It is possible to break the cycle of hate and revenge. It is possible to find peace again. As Kidega stood there, on the edge of his new life, with the pain and devastation of the past behind him, he knew, finally, that this was true.

Hustling Is Not Stealing

Hustling Is Not Stealing

Autor: John M. Chernoff

Número de Páginas: 497

While living in West Africa in the 1970s, John Chernoff recorded the stories of “Hawa,” a spirited and brilliant but uneducated woman whose insistence on being respected and treated fairly propelled her, ironically, into a life of marginality and luck as an “ashawo,” or bar girl. Rejecting traditional marriage options and cut off from family support, she is like many women in Africa who come to depend on the help they receive from one another, from boyfriends, and from the men they meet in bars and nightclubs. Refusing to see herself as a victim, Hawa embraces the freedom her lifestyle permits and seeks the broadest experience available to her. In Hustling Is Not Stealing and its follow-up, Exchange Is Not Robbery, a chronicle of exploitation is transformed by verbal art into an ebullient comedy. In Hustling Is Not Stealing, Hawa is a playful warrior struggling against circumstances in Ghana and Togo. In Exchange Is Not Robbery, Hawa returns to her native Burkina Faso, where she achieves greater control over her life but faces new difficulties. As a woman making sacrifices to live independently, Hawa sees her own situation become more complex as she confronts an atmosphere ...

Juggle the Dice

Juggle the Dice

Autor: Ifeoma Ndiolo

Número de Páginas: 137

Life remains a mystery and whatever action we undertake in life is a risk. Just like the act of juggling a dice, one never knows what number will be thrown up. As we carry on with the game of life, we play by whatever number emerges and try our very best to make the most of the opportunities presented to us. Man is created to be different and no one man is the same as another. Each being remains special and with peculiar features crafted by the Master chess player, God. He is the creator and holds the aces just like in the game of chess. A lot of times things do not turn out the way we have planned or expected it, just as in the stories I have told here but we keep going on until the race is over. Each story has its own peculiar characters or actors playing on the stage called life. The outcome of their situation is largely dependant on their ability to take full advantage of the chances thrown their way which is determined by forces way beyond their control.
