Download or read book My Country Africa written by Andrée Blouin and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2025-01-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutionary black feminist Andrée Blouin’s memoir of Africa’s liberation struggles Born in French Equatorial Africa, Andrée Blouin played a leading role in the struggles for decolonization that shook the continent in the 1950s and 1960s. From the colonial orphanage of her childhood, she escaped an arranged marriage to become an avatar of pan-Africanism, advising heads of state from Algiers to Abidjan. Her autobiography retraces this journey. In Guinea, where Blouin accompanied Sékou Touré’s campaign for independence, she came into contact with leaders of the liberation movement in the Belgian Congo, who recruited her to run their women’s organization. Blouin witnessed the Congolese tragedy up-close, as an adviser to Patrice Lumumba, whose arrest and assassination she narrates in unforgettable detail. Blouin’s memoir is an essential contribution to the history of anti-colonialism and radical black feminism. Beginning with the formative experience of colonial rule, she offers a sweeping survey of pan-African nationalism, encompassing the intricacies of revolutionary diplomacy, comradeship, and betrayal. Alongside intimate portraits of the movement’s leaders, Blouin gives insight into the often overlooked contribution of African women.

Download or read book Blakwork written by Alison Whittaker and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning mix of memoir, reportage, fiction, satire, and critique composed by a powerful new voice in poetry. Alison Whittaker's BLAKWORK is an original and unapologetic collection from which two things emerge; an incomprehensible loss, and the poet's fearless examination of the present. Whittaker is unsparing in the interrogation of familiar ideas - identifying and dissolving them with idiosyncratic imagery, layering them to form new connections, and reinterpreting what we know. 'Alison Whittaker's second book, Blakwork is a bold mix of poetry, micro-fiction, memoir and critique, and a follow-up to her award-wining debut poetry collection, Lemons in the Chicken Wire...Whittaker has drawn on the strength of past generations to become a strong blak woman in contemporary Australia, and readers are gifted her insights into growing up blak. With a unique style of writing, she bravely unpacks themes such as colonisation and Aboriginal rights in Australia.' -- Karen Wyld, Books+Publishing
