Tsitsi Dangarembga Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Tsitsi Dangarembga zählt zu den wichtigsten Stimmen des afrikanischen Kontinents. Ihr Werk ist unbequem, erhellend und hochpolitisch - kein Wunder, hat sie selbst doch von klein auf erfahren, wie weit die Schatten des Kolonialzeitalters noch heute reichen. Die internationale Bestsellerautorin, Filmemacherin, Friedenspreisträgerin und Aktivistin widmet ihr Sachbuchdebüt dem Kampf für soziale Gerechtigkeit. Sie spannt einen großen historischen Bogen, verankert in ihrer eigenen bewegten Biografie, und schreibt über die doppelte Unterdrückung, die Schwarzen Frauen begegnet - durch rigide patriarchale Strukturen und die anhaltende Dominanz der Weißen. Eine selbstbewusste Einladung zur Reflektion.

"The first wound for all of us who are classified as "black" is empire. In Black and Female, Tsitsi Dangarembga examines the legacy of imperialism on her own life and on every aspect of black embodied African life. This paradigm-shifting essay collection weaves the personal and political in an illuminating exploration of race and gender. Dangarembga recounts a painful separation from her parents as a toddler, connecting this experience to the ruptures caused in Africa by human trafficking and enslavement. She argues that, after independence, the ruling party in Zimbabwe only performed inclusion for women while silencing the work of self-actualized feminists. She describes her struggles to realize her ambitions in theater, film, and literature, laying out the long path to the publication of her novels. At once philosophical, intimate, and urgent, Black and Female is a powerful testimony of the pervasive and long-lasting effects of racism and patriarchy that provides an ultimately hopeful vision for change. Black feminists are "the status quo's worst nightmare." Dangarembga embga writes, "our conviction is deep, bolstered by a vivid imagination that reminds us that other realities are possible beyond the one that obtains.""-- Provided by publisher
