LITERATURA EN OTROS IDIOMAS

The Mis-Education of the Negro is a book originally published in 1933 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.[1] The thesis of Dr. Woodson's book is that blacks of his day were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes black people to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to "do for themselves", regardless of what they were taught:

 

    History shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning.

Amb la prosa emotiva i viva que la caracteritza, Kopano Matlwa ens posa en la pell de la generació que va arribar a la majoria d'edat a l'era postapartheid i va topar amb una realitat incapaç d'erradicar les desigualtats socials, a més del masclisme i el racisme estructural. Però també ens parla de la generació que els va precedir: la de Mohumagadi, una directora brillant d'una escola per a alumnes negres, i Bill, un predicador blanc caigut en desgràcia, que es retroben dècades després d'una història d'amor infantil que els va expulsar de les seves comunitats.

Janie Crawford, an African-American woman in her forties, recounts her life starting with her sexual awakening, which she compares to a blossoming pear tree kissed by bees in spring. Around this time, Janie allows a local boy, Johnny Taylor, to kiss her, which Janie's grandmother, Nanny, witnesses.

 

As a young slave woman, Nanny was raped by her white owner, then gave birth to a mixed-race daughter she named Leafy. Though Nanny wanted a better life for her daughter and even escaped her jealous mistress after the American Civil War, Leafy was later raped by her school teacher and became pregnant with Janie. Shortly after Janie's birth, Leafy began to drink and stay out at night, eventually running away and leaving Janie with Nanny.

Escrita amb una audàcia lírica que ens fa qüestionar-nos qui som i qui volem ser en la societat de les aparences, Coconut entrellaça les vides d'Ofilwe i Fikile, dues joves de Johannesburg que evidencien el pes dels prejudicis racials, la pressió estètica, l'autoodi i les violències de gènere sobre les joves negres de l'era postapartheid. Una hist.ria necessària sobre joves que busquen la seva identitat entre el racisme, el classisme i el masclisme que imperen en el món on vivim. Una immersió necessària en la moderna Sud-àfrica de la mà d'una de les joves escriptores africanes més destacades de l'actualitat.

Originally published in 1939 as a counterpoint to the myopic, Eurocentric narrative of African history popular in the West at the time, Carter G. Woodson',s African Heroes and Heroines delves into the rich and complex political, military, and economic history of the African continent with the objective eye of a scientific observer. Intended for upper level high-school students, Woodson presents a fair biographical treatment of African leaders through history as figures of equal - if not greater - intelligence, prowess, and strength as the heroic leaders canonized in the histories of other races.

Tothom necessita estimar i ser estimat, fins i tot els homes. Però per conèixer l’amor, els homes han de poder veure les formes en què la cultura patriarcal els impedeix conèixer-se a si mateixos, estar en contacte amb els seus sentiments, estimar.

 

A La voluntat de canviar, bell hooks arriba a el moll de l’assumpte i mostra als homes com expressar les emocions que són una part fonamental de qui són, independentment de la seva edat, estat civil, ètnia o orientació sexual. Però la masculinitat tòxica castiga aquestes emocions fonamentals, i està tan profundament arrelada en la nostra societat que és difícil per als homes no obeir, però hooks vol ajudar a canviar això.

El feminisme negre ha tornat a emergir com el marc analític per a la resposta activista a l'opressió de molts subjectes. Aquest llibre n'és una excel·lent porta d'entradaCom alliberar-nos és un esforç per tornar a connectar les arrels fondes de l’anàlisi i la pràctica del feminisme negre amb els esforços contemporanis dÆorganització. De la mateixa manera que el marxisme va convertir-se en una eina per a l’anàlisi crítica en els cercles acadèmics dels anys vuitanta i noranta del segle xx, el feminisme negre també va trobar el seu lloc en els cercles acadèmics a mesura que els moviments polítics que nÆhavien propiciat l’impuls van començar a abandonar el carrer.
