Chinua Achebe 67695

Een jeugd onder Britse protectie

de Geus. Hardcover. Pp: 189. Inmiddels is het ruim vijftig jaar geleden dat Achebes debuutroman Een wereld valt uiteen werd gepubliceerd. Om die reden presenteert Achebe nu een bundeling van zeventien autobiografische essays, onder de titel Een jeugd onder Britse protectie. In deze bundeling vertelt Achebe hoe hij opgroeide in een gekoloniseerd Nigeria en welke belangrijke rol educatie daarbij innam. In de bundel grijpt hij terug op enkele titels uit zijn rijke oeuvre, zoals A Man of the People, Chike and the River, The Trouble with Nigeria, Uncle Benøs Choice en natuurlijk Things Fall Apart (Een wereld valt uiteen).Chinua Achebe (Nigeria, 1930) debuteerde in 1958 met Een wereld valt uiteen. Van deze roman zijn wereldwijd meer dan tien miljoen exemplaren verkocht in vijftig talen. Hiermee is hij de meest vertaalde Afrikaanse schrijver ooit. Achebe publiceerde daarna nog meer dan twintig titels: romans, verhalen, essays en politieke beschouwingen, en kinderboeken. In 2002 werd hem de prestigieuze Vredesprijs van de Duitse boekhandelaren toegekend en in 2007 ontving hij de Man Booker Prize. ISBN: 9789044516005. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Short Century

Prestel, 2001. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 496. For much of Africa the 20th century was overshadowed by the experience of colonial rule, with political independence arriving for most peoples only in the last fifty years. The Short Century is a broad survey of cultural life in Africa from the independence movements through the post-colonial era to the end of apartheid in 1994. Expansive, wide-ranging, and lavishly illustrated, this book studies achievements in all areas of the performing and fine arts, photography, literature, theater, architecture, music, and film.The Short Century includes the works of over 50 artists from the paintings of Mancoba and Sekoto during the fifties, through the drawings and theater projects of William Kentridge up to the installations and video works of Kay Hassan and Oladele A. Bamgboye.The great writers of the continent - Soyinka, Senghor, and Cesaire amongst others -, Africa's filmmakers, architects and musicians, all of whom left their mark on the process of decolonialization, are studied here in depth. Renowned historians and cultural philosophers discuss the background of developments and analyse the ideological strategies employed by Western colonial powers to preserve their grip on African countries and peoples. A chapter on photojournalism supplemented by a detailed chronology of events and political movements presents the main stages of Africa's political history. A comprehensive anthology in the appendix contains some 30 historical documents, such as essays, speeches and political manifestos, shedding light on the key issues of the period.
