Black Man's Grave: Letters from Sierra Leone de Gary Stewart

Black Man's Grave: Letters from Sierra Leone

Autor Gary Stewart, John Amman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2007
Sierra Leone was ripe for revolution in 1991; the Revolutionary United Front just didn't know how to pull if off. "Black Man's Grave" tells the story of the tragic "revolution" through the eyes of those who struggled to survive in the small northern village of Fadugu. Based on years of correspondence and the authors' research and experiences in Sierra Leone, "Black Man's Grave" describes a country run by a greedy political elite who hijacked a fledgling democracy, plundered its wealth of diamonds and turned most of its people into desperate paupers.

Recenzii

"Stewart and Ammans Black Man's Grave takes on a much-neglected aspect of the war, the experience of men who avoided recruitment into either government or rebel forces, yet who struggled to maintain themselves and their families through the long years of disruption.... When war ravaged the northern town of Fadugu, causing it to be abandoned and resettled multiple times over the years, many inhabitants reached out through letters to American and European friends, as people all over the region were doing. Stewart and Amman have skilfully integrated excerpts from letters they received with an historical narrative of the war drawn from published sources. The result is an account of the conflict from the point of view of ordinary heroes; teachers who keep showing up for work after years with no paycheck, traders who risk their lives and livelihoods trying to keep small towns supplied with necessities, and local chiefs who, after years of doing what the central government tells them, finally find the courage to stand up to power." -- African Studies Review, April 2008
