The Silence of the Choir
Seventy-two men arrive in the Sicilian countryside. They are "immigrants", "refugees" or "migrants". But in Altino, they are called the ragazzi, the 'guys' that the Santa Marta Association have taken responsibility for. And their presence changes the course of life in this small Sicilian town. While they await their fate, the ragazzi encounter all kinds of people: a strange vicar who rewrites their pasts, a woman committed to offering them asylum, a man determined to refuse it, an older ragazzo who has become an interpreter, and a reclusive poet who no longer writes. Each character, wherever they may come from, is forced to reflect on what it means to meet people they know nothing about. As each brings a different view, a cacophony of discordant voices resonates to the end, when the final one reduces the choir to silence.
States of Marriage
States of Marriage shows how throughout the colonial period in French Sudan (present-day Mali) the institution of marriage played a central role in how the empire defined its colonial subjects as gendered persons with certain attendant rights and privileges. The book is a modern history of the ideological debates surrounding the meaning of marriage, as well as the associated legal and sociopolitical practices in colonial and postcolonial Mali. It is also the first to use declassified court records regarding colonialist attempts to classify and categorize traditional marriage conventions in the southern region of the country. In French Sudan, as elsewhere in colonial Africa, the first stage o...
Il silenzio del coro
Dopo aver visitato in prima persona i centri di accoglienza che ospitano i migranti che arrivano in Italia, il premio Goncourt Mohamed Mbougar Sarr racconta il dramma dell'incontro. Attraverso il punto di vista di chi accoglie e quello di chi è accolto, Sarr apre un profondo squarcio e ci mostra quanto profondamente sono uguali agli esseri umani. «La maestria di Sarr è impressionante». Le Monde Settantadue uomini arrivano in un paese della campagna siciliana. L'epoca li chiama “immigrati”, “rifugiati” o “migranti”. Ad Altino, quelli che l'associazione Santa Marta prende in carico si chiamano ragazzi. La loro presenza però sconvolge la quotidianità della piccola città. In a...
Démocratie malienne et dialogue constitutionnel (1991-2007)
Depuis qu’en 1989 une vague démocratique a commencé à balayer l’Afrique, 57 nouvelles Constitutions ont été adoptées dans 41 pays africains. Une poignée d’entre elles, seulement, a permis de jeter les bases d’États réellement plus démocratiques. Le succès des transitions démocratiques ne tient pas seulement à la transformation des règles de la gouvernance sociétale, objet de l’écriture de nouvelles Constitutions, mais aussi au renforcement de la légitimité des gouvernements et des institutions. Après des années de pouvoir excessif et centralisé, la construction d’États postcoloniaux démocratiques demeure toujours un immense défi. À propos du Mali, ce livr...
Le Labyrinthe littéraire de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
Depuis ses débuts avec la nouvelle « La Cale » en 2014, les textes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr connaissent un succès qui ne se dément pas. Terre ceinte en 2015, Silence du chœur en 2017 et De purs hommes en 2018 ont remporté des prix littéraires de grand renom. Enfin, le jury du prix Goncourt a opté en 2021 avec La plus secrète Mémoire des hommes pour un roman qui offre une métaréflexion littéraire subtile, détaillée et lucide sur l’histoire de la littérature africaine ainsi que sur le milieu littéraire parisien. Ce volume cherche à éclairer les modalités narratives qui permettent à l’auteur de transformer le politique en littérature, mais aussi à situer son œuvre da...
