Here I divided:
This young writer, doualaise of birth, my truly impresses with its style and talent. I find the momentum in its current pen dune generation of artists "Africans" and most promising innovators. This novel is rich, dense and allows play without hindrance. In addition, and jy am particularly sensitive, the Douala is often used, and I say that I do not practice this language, delicious and wisely. The excellent literature. Thereby, it deserves a 5/5.
However, and I do not force my severity, on the bottom I wear me wrong. Joining fortuitously vastness dune African diaspora who wanted to end up in Leonora Miano courage and honesty of (for example) the writer Rosa-Amelia Plumelle-Uribe. For, beyond dune undeniable technical merit, meaning conveyed above all deductions and intellectual consequences are, in my view, undoubtedly incomplete, inaccurate, fragmented and therefore distorted. The real story is violated, the non-existent intellectual honesty, in short: Leonora Miano into the scheme of revisionism. Let me explain:
- Lauteure indicates how Africans describe what proved vile point of capture (or daider capture) and sell their brothers and sisters to a simple matter of greed; she would go up to declare that these practices were observed in all regions and sub-Saharan Africas all times?
- Lauteure apparently considers, as lont done and are doing to the western Greek lantiquité that Africas piece is static and despite some last centuries of "movements"? (Pardon leuphémisme)
- How to consider other than revisionist denial by omission lauteure by the following facts: countries, states, heads of governments, local chiefs and kings who during several centuries in Africa, fought esclavagismes engagismes and that they are Christians, Muslims dune another religion or simply for economic purposes? What about all the plots hatched by Europeans that resulted in a selection (and until now) and Darwinian bias of elite African and therefore the directions of the peoples? The current applied geostrategy North Completion South Africas nhérite does not these centuries of violence and betrayal? Leonora Miano would it be in denial? Jeusse wanted what was in place to have consciousness of his writing, just in ignorance: it rained and moves almost reassured.
A famous African proverb says, "As long as their not link nauront historian, hunting stories always turn to the glory of the hunter. "I would say gently Leonora Miano is lantilope saffuble that the hunter's skin to Dériger a story to the glory of it! Here straight dun Olivier Petre-Grenouilleau with its "African slave trade: overall test of history." Welcome to the world of linexact and spinelessness.
I prefer, by far, a Lilian Thuram who, even if he is far from being exhaustive, seeks to restore the clarity of a just through historicism. And "The White Ferocity" published by Albin Michel and far more informative and precise that "novel" Leonora Miano.
Without asking BE exhaustive, however jattendais other dune novelist thing of this quality. I am sincerely disappointed.
Without feeling a pride that would be inappropriate, jaime deeply wish that my background and the vastness of the heart of Africans and / or blood are also lovers of this continent with civilizations and authentic values.
Japplique the dune cleaver five star only because I technically can put zero.

is okay, but Rank: 3/5
