A Suitcase Full of Dried Fish and other stories
Distinctively and splendidly adventurous, romantic, historical, and funny, ranging from the harrowing slum of Katakoumbay to the comforts of the developed world, this collection of stories investigates the complexities of human relationships. The language is contemporary and often unrelenting. The book is a timely exposé on the joys and disillusionment of post-independence Africa and the Caribbean. A Suitcase Full of Dried Fish and other stories is written from the viewpoint of characters replete with emotion and stinging dialogue. We read about the secrets of online dating; the trial of a migrant; a polygamous household; a rebel leader; an air steward; a teacher-pupil relationship; the fears of sickness; and a glimpse of the afterlife.

Africa?
Questa esposizione dimostra quanto l'arte africana sia vigorosa e vitale. La maggior parte delle persone identifica ancora l'arte dell'Africa con l'arte tribale tradizionale che può essere ammirata nei musei di tutto il mondo. Sono male informate: la nuova arte africana è tanto interessante e complessa, tanto bella e sofisticata quanto quella esposta nelle gallerie e nei musei di Berlino, Londra o New York. Solo nell'ultimo decennio l'arte contemporanea della Cina, dell'India, del Sudamerica e degli aborigeni si è imposta all'attenzione del pubblico. André Magnin, il curatore della collezione, scopre e raccoglie opere africane contemporanee da ben 22 anni; dunque, in un certo senso siamo dei pionieri. Un'avventura straordinaria la nostra, soprattutto, per quanto mi riguarda, per il tempo che ho trascorso con gli artisti africani, persone di una creatività straordinaria che riescono sempre ad aprirti la mente. (Jean Pigozzi, Proprietario della CAAC, The Contemporary African Art Collection)

Based on letters from villagers to the authors, both former Peace Corps Volunteers in Sierra Leone, the book exposes 'big man' Siaka Stevens, warlord Charles Taylor, and rebel leader Foday Sankoh.
L'art africain contemporain
Depuis l'exposition décisive " Magiciens de la Terre " (Centre Pompidou, 1989), les plus grands musées accordent peu à peu une place à cette aire de création qu'est l'art africain contemporain. En montrant les œuvres d'artistes qui travaillent en Afrique ou y entretiennent une partie de leur activité, L'art africain contemporain tente de rendre compte de la diversité et de la vigueur d'un art mal connu ou enfermé dans des clichés. Au travers de médias variés, de la peinture à l'installation, de la photographie à la vidéo, l'ouvrage offre des visions différentes de cultures très vives, prises dans les mouvements parfois contradictoires d'un monde ouvert, entre des réalités de vie quotidienne souvent difficiles et des puissances imaginaires dont le regard européen a parfois du mal à prendre la mesure. Selon le principe de la collection " Tableaux choisis ", le livre propose un parcours articulé à partir de 12 œuvres, choisies pour leur qualité et leur exemplarité [...]
