Murambi, el libro de los huesos

Autor: Boubacar Boris Diop

Número de Páginas: 171

Tras años en el exilio, Cornelius regresa a Ruanda. El reencuentro con sus amigos de la infancia, Jessica y Stanley, y la visita a Murambi, el lugar donde pasó su niñez y donde todavía vive su tío Siméon, le darán las claves de su historia personal, trágicamente ligada a la de su pueblo. Construida como una investigación en la que se cruzan las historias de víctimas y verdugos, esta novela de extraordinaria lucidez nos explica el último genocidio del siglo XX. Una obra escrita como un deber de memoria para luchar contra el silencio —victoria definitiva de los asesinos— y para contraponer la vida al proyecto de destrucción de los genocidas.

The Tongue-Tied Imagination

Autor: Tobias Warner

Número de Páginas: 312

Winner, 2021 African Literature Association First Book Award Should a writer work in a former colonial language or in a vernacular? The language question was one of the great, intractable problems that haunted postcolonial literatures in the twentieth century, but it has since acquired a reputation as a dead end for narrow nationalism. This book returns to the language question from a fresh perspective. Instead of asking whether language matters, The Tongue-Tied Imagination explores how the language question itself came to matter. Focusing on the case of Senegal, Warner investigates the intersection of French and Wolof. Drawing on extensive archival research and an under-studied corpus of novels, poetry, and films in both languages, as well as educational projects and popular periodicals, the book traces the emergence of a politics of language from colonization through independence to the era of neoliberal development. Warner reads the francophone works of well-known authors such as Léopold Senghor, Ousmane Sembène, Mariama Bâ, and Boubacar Boris Diop alongside the more overlooked Wolof-language works with which they are in dialogue. Refusing to see the turn to vernacular...

Quels lieux pour les littératures en langues africaines

Autor: Xavier Garnier

Número de Páginas: 282

En yoruba, en zoulou, en swahili, en wolof, en poulâr : les littératures s’écrivent en langues africaines, souvent à l’insu des langues européennes comme le français ou l’anglais. Célébrées par Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o comme chaînon principal de la « décolonisation de l’esprit », ces littératures sont néanmoins peu étudiées et parfois peu disponibles. Reprenant une vaste histoire de ces textes depuis la période coloniale jusqu’à leurs circulations contemporaines sur les réseaux sociaux, Xavier Garnier propose de les lire à l’aune de l’écolinguistique. Parfois au coeur même des institutions coloniales, les littératures en langues africaines ont inventé des « milieux » littéraires qu’il serait grand temps aujourd’hui de redécouvrir. Émergent alors des galeries de figures comme D. O. Fagunwa, Boubacar Boris Diop, Shaaban Robert qui racontent « au ras du sol » des expériences littéraires en écho avec le monde.
