Didier Ruef – Afrique noire

CHF 64.00

SKU: DR-AFN Category:

L’Afrique, terre d’incursions, d’expéditions, de razzias et de guerres civiles. L’Afrique où les maux de civilisation semblent enkystés, fixés comme en négatif de notre époque. Sur cette terre malmenée, des Africains vifs, vivants, vivaces, toujours renaissants. L’humanité africaine, force vitale, essentielle. Pourquoi alors ces plaies béantes? Que faire pour les dépasser? Des réponses existent. Ce livre en fournit, de manière d’autant plus claire qu’il propose un regard sans pitié ni commisération, à la fois doux, fort et intense sur les habitants de ce continent unique et originel.

Africa, a land of incursion, of expeditions, of raids and of civil wars.  Africa where the evils of our civilization seem engraved, set up as in an image negative of our era. On this troubled land are born and live vivacious Africans, always rising.

African humanity, vital, essential force.  Why then these gaping wounds?  What is there to do to surpass them?  Answers exist.  The exposition hints at some, in a clear minded way devoid of a sense of pity and commiseration, in the same way in a soft as well as strongly and excessive way of viewing the inhabitants of this unique and original continent.
