«L'Ombre d'Imana» is the testimonial account by Véronique Tadjo, published by Actes Sud in paperback (132 pages, in French).
In 1998, invited to a writers' residency, Véronique Tadjo traveled to Rwanda and confronted the consequences of the genocide. To understand how so much inhumanity could happen, she gives voice to prisoners, victims, women, the sick, lost children, refugees and the absent; a mosaic of voices narrating pain and fear.
Published in 2000, the subtitle is «Voyages jusqu'au bout du Rwanda». It belongs to the series «Rwanda: écrire par devoir de mémoire».
For readers interested in the history of Rwanda, the memory of the genocide and postwar testimonies.
Véronique Tadjo is a writer, poet, novelist, and artist from Côte d'Ivoire. Having lived and worked in many countries within the African continent and diaspora, she feels herself to be pan-African, in a way that is reflected in the subject matter, imagery and allusions of her work.
