Afrikanska kärleksberättelser – finns de? Ama Ata Aidoo skriver i sitt förord om hur afrikanska författare förväntas skriva om militärregimer, förlegade traditioner, hungersnöd. Så har föreställningen vunnit mark att det inte skrivs om kärlek i Afrika, både i västvärlden och bland de egna intellektuella. Kärlek x 21 visar tydligt att den afrikanska kärleksnovellen lever i vår samtid. Här skriver flera av kontinentens främsta kvinnliga författare om allt mellan födslosmärtor och begravningar; tonårens våndor och ålderdomens krämpor; samkönade relationer och förhållanden som drabbas av rasfördomar. Inte minst slår samlingen hål på myten om den afrikanska kvinnan som ett fattigt offer. Genom hela antologin bultar det mänskliga hjärtat: belägrat och blödande, oförskräckt och ibland triumferande. Närma dig novellerna en i sänder, då kan du höra kvinnornas inre röster var och en för sig. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

This volume deals with the manifold ways in which histories are debated and indeed historicity and historiography themselves are interrogated via the narrative modes of the truth commissions. It traces the various medial responses (memoirs, fiction, poetry, film, art) which have emerged in the wake of the truth commissions.The 1990s and the 2000s saw a spate of so-called truth commissions across the Global South. From the inaugural truth commissions in post-juntas 1980s Latin America, to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by the incoming post-apartheid government in South Africa and the twinned gacaca courts and National Unity and Reconciliation Commission in Rwanda and that in indigenous Australia, various truth commissions have sought to lay bare human rights abuses. The chapters in this volume explore how truth commissions crystallized a long tradition of dissenting and resisting cultures of memorialization in the public sphere across the Global South and provided a significant template for contemporary attempts to work through episodes of violence and oppression across the region. Drawing on studies from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia, this book illuminates the modes in which societies remember and negotiate with traumatic pasts.This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of human rights, popular culture and art, literature, media, politics and history. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2019

To attain some sort of universal value,"" Véronique Tadjo has said, ""a piece of work has to go deep into the particular in order to reveal our shared humanity."" In Far from My Father, the latest novel from this internationally acclaimed author, a woman returns to the Côte d'Ivoire after her father’s death. She confronts not only unresolved family issues that she had left behind but also questions about her own identity that arise amidst the tensions between traditional and modern worlds. The drama that unfolds tells us much about the evolving role of women, the legacy of polygamy, and the economic challenges of daily life in Abidjan. On a more autobiographical level, the author depicts a daughter’s efforts to come to terms with what she knew and did not know about her father. Set against the backdrop of civil strife that has wracked the Côte d'Ivoire since the turn of the century, this story shows Tadjo’s remarkable ability to inhabit a character’s inner world and emotional landscape while creating a narrative of great historic and cultural dimensions. - E-bokEngelska, 2014

A multi-layered narrative comprising a series of interwoven short stories and poetic texts which can be read within continental Africa, the African Diaspora and beyond. Tadjo imagines an African society on the brink of total collapse yet there is no doubt that the story resonates in unsettling ways with recent political and social unrest in Côte d’Ivoire. This is a narrative of devastating ideographic power from one of the most important voices in African writing today.EPUB3: Reflowable - E-bokEngelska, 2021

As evidence emerged of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, the outside world reeled in shock. What could have motivated these individual and collective atrocities? In 1998, Véronique Tajdo travelled to Rwanda to try to find out. She started with the premise that what happened in Rwanda concerns us all. It is a reminder that humankind the world over is capable of genocide. Records of what Véronique saw – sites of massacres, corpses, weapons deposits – are combined with personal stories: of traumatised returnees, bereaved survivors, victims of assault, orphans, lawyers faced with the impossible task of doing justice, prisoners. But The Shadow of Imana goes beyond reportage. With passages resembling poetry and traditional tales, Tadjo explores the spiritual legacy of the genocide and uncovers a healing vitality and a commitment to forgiveness.Discover the APOLLO AFRICA series: the new home for 100 timeless works from the legendary Heinemann African Writers Series. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

The xenophobic attacks that started in Alexandra, Johannesburg in May 2008 before quickly spreading around the country caused an outcry across the world and raised many fundamental questions: Of what profound social malaise is xenophobia – and the violence that it inspires – a symptom? Have our economic and political choices created new forms of exclusion that fuel anger and distrust? What consequences does the emergence of xenophobia hold for the idea of an equal, non-racial society as symbolised by a democratic South Africa?On 28 May 2008 the Faculty of Humanities in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg convened an urgent colloquium that focused on searching for short and long-term solutions. Nearly twenty individuals – mostly Wits academics from a variety of disciplines, but also two student leaders, a journalist and a bishop – addressed the unfolding violence in ways that were conversant with the moment, yet rooted in scholarship and ongoing research.Go Home or Die Here emanates directly from the colloquium. It hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty. The authors hoped to pose questions that would lead both to research and to more informed, reflective forms of public action. With extensive photographs by award-winning photographer Alon Skuy, who covered the violence for The Times newspaper, the volume is passionate and engaged, and aims to stimulate reflection, debate and activism among concerned members of a broad public. - E-bokEngelska, 2023

In a series of moving snapshots, Véronique Tadjo illustrates the terrible extent of the Ebola epidemic: the doctor who tirelessly treats patients day after day in a sweltering tent, protected from the virus only by a plastic suit; the student who volunteers to work as a gravedigger while universities are closed, helping the teams overwhelmed by the sheer number of bodies; the grandmother who agrees to take in an orphaned young boy cast out of his village for fear of infection. And watching over them all is the ancient and wise Baobab tree, mourning the dire state of the earth yet providing a sense of hope for the future. Acutely relevant to our times in light of the coronavirus pandemic, In the Company of Men explores critical questions about how we cope with a global crisis and how we can combat fear and prejudice. - Inbunden, Svenska, 2017, 3-6 år

Det är den torra årstiden. Träden har inga löv kvar alls. Människorna och djuren är mycket törstiga. De letar hela dagen efter vatten ända tills det blir mörkt. Plötsligt lyfter en vacker fågel med gyllene vingar. Den flyger upp mot himlen... Den ivorianska bildkonstnär och författare är berömd för sina vackra bilderböcker som gestaltar afrikanska sagor.
"Jag följer dejn afrikanska berättartraditionen som ger mig stor frihet att tolka våra myter och legender. Jag vill bevara vårt rika kulturella arv för kommande generationer. Många av oss bor i stora afrikansak städer eller i förskingringen och tappar alltmer kontakten med våra muntliga traditioner. Min uppgift som författare och bildkonstnär är att kämpa mot kulturell likgiltighet och glömska."

Enligt legenden kastade drottning Pokou sin ende son i floden för att befria sitt folk. Tack vare hennes offer kunde kungariket Baule grundas och hon själv utropas till drottning. I Drottning Pokou omtolkar Véronique Tadjo denna betydelsefulla myt. Vem var Pokou egentligen? Var hon en amazon och frihetshjälte? Eller var hon en maktgalen härskare som gjorde vad som helst för att få regera över sitt folk? I fem olika berättelser, med fem olika slut, ställer Tadjo frågor om kvinnors relation till makt och våld. I en version låter hon Pokou följa sin son ner i vattnet där hon förvandlas till en havsgudinna. I en annan offrar hon inte bara sin son utan också sin man för att erövra makten. Men myten om drottning Pokou anknyter också till våra dagars Elfenbenskusten med allt vad det innebär av etniska konflikter och politiskt kaos. Véronique Tadjo är född 1955 och kommer från Elfenbenskusten. För närvarande är hon bosatt i Sydafrika. Hon har skrivit ett flertal romaner och är också verksam som barnboksförfattare och konstnär. - Häftad, Arabiska, 2017
