Selayê

Autore: Greice Martins

Numero di pagine: 90

« Les seresteiros s'en allaient. La jeune fille, tout éveillée, ne pensait qu'à l'amour. Les dames pensaient aussi à l'amour, mais à cet amour qu'elles avaient laissé tomber. Quoique s'il n'était jamais parti, elle l'aurait retenu, si elle avait oublié son orgueil heurté ? Comment serait sa vie ? Auraient-ils eu des enfants et des petits-enfants ? Tout se serait peut-être terminé très tôt. Pendant la première trahison ? » Le nouveau recueil de Greice Martins, Selayê, nous offre une galerie de chroniques toutes plus délicieuses les unes que les autres. Au gré de son style léger et aérien, l'auteure nous transporte dans son pays d'origine, à Bagé ou encore sur la place Silveira Martins. La plume de G. Martins délivre un message humaniste et bouleversant tout en nous touchant profondément dans notre âme.

Ici nous sommes tous parents

Autore: Gabriele Grossi

Numero di pagine: 332

Les Patax́o qui vivent dans la réserve indigène du Mont Pascal, extrême sud de l'Etat de Bahia, Brésil, sont acculturés depuis longtemps, s'habillent comme tout autre habitant de la région, s'expriment en langue portugaise et vivent de l'agriculture, de la pêche et de l'artisanat vendu au touristes durant la haute saison. Malgré cette apparente homogénéité culturelle avec la société blanche environnante, ils se définissent comme indiens, multipliant les symboles de leur appartenance ethnique, sous les formes de pièces vestimentaires, de peintures corporelles indigènes, de présentation de danses rituelles, de production d'un artisanat typique, d'utilisation de mots indigènes. Les aspects rituels et religieux contribuent aux revendications à caractère identitaire et l'école devient un laboratoire où sont produites et divulguées les traditions ethniques.Mais c'est dans l'articulation entre la "Terre", lieu des ancêtres enchantés, et la "Parenté" que semble résider le principe générateur permettant d'appréhender l'identité ethnique des Pataxó. La croyance en une origine commune renvoie aux relations de parenté qui sont à la base de l'organisation...

Names for Light

Autore: Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint

Numero di pagine: 176

Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, a lyrical meditation on family, place, and inheritance Names for Light traverses time and memory to weigh three generations of a family’s history against a painful inheritance of postcolonial violence and racism. In spare, lyric paragraphs framed by white space, Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint explores home, belonging, and identity by revisiting the cities in which her parents and grandparents lived. As she makes inquiries into their stories, she intertwines oral narratives with the official and mythic histories of Myanmar. But while her family’s stories move into the present, her own story—that of a writer seeking to understand who she is—moves into the past, until both converge at the end of the book. Born in Myanmar and raised in Bangkok and San Jose, Myint finds that she does not have typical memories of arriving in the United States; instead, she is haunted by what she cannot remember. By the silences lingering around what is spoken. By a chain of deaths in her family line, especially that of her older brother as a child. For Myint, absence is felt as strongly as presence. And, as she comes to understand, naming those absences,...

SAUDADE

Autore: Suneeta Peres Da Costa

Long-awaited new work by the acclaimed author of the novel Homework, published by Bloomsbury in the UK, US and Australia A coming-of-age story set in Angola in the period leading up to the colony's independence, Saudade focuses on a Goan immigrant family caught between complicity in Portuguese rule, and their dependence on the Angolans who are their servants. The title (saudade means 'melancholy' in Portuguese) speaks to the longing for homeland that haunts its characters, and especially the young girl who is the book's protagonist and narrator. Suneeta Peres da Costa's novella captures with intense lyricism the difficult relationship between the daughter and her mother, and the ways in which their intimate world opens up questions about domestic violence, the legacies of Portuguese slavery and the end of empire. The young woman's intellectual awakening unfolds into a growing awareness of the lies of colonialism, and the violent political ruptures that ultimately lead to her father's death, and their exile.

Into the Country of Standing Men

Autore: Rey Ventura

Numero di pagine: 330

We all dream of a better future and of a better relationship. We all dream of a better family and of a better life. But how do we go about realizing these dreams? Is the degree of our dreams directly proportional to the degree of sacrifice required to achieve them? When physical separation from the husband, and separation from an only child is demanded of us, is it still worth pursuing that dream? Is not the nearness of a husband, the nearness of a son, the nearness of our family, the nearness of loved ones--a most wonderful dream? Is this not enough?

The Bohol We Love

Autore: Marjorie Evasco

Numero di pagine: 469

“These essays are not about Chocolate Hills and the tarsiers and the fancy beach clubs and other tourist magnets in Bohol. They are about seemingly mundane things that define a place and bind its people together—childhood games, songs, religious rituals, cultural practices, superstitions and myths, magical creatures. Here you will read about triumphs that united people in pride, disasters that drew them even closer; larger-than-life heroes and everyday heroes; changes that tested their mettle and inspired new ways of seeing as well as values that have endured; cracks in the pavements that mirrored cracks in relationships. Braiding storytelling with fictional devices, the writers merge reportage with self-reflection; weave patterns out of chaos and happenstances; and create a tapestry of memories that restores the past, turning the Bohol they love into the Bohol we love as well.” — Susan Lara
