Ouologuem Yambo - Bound To Violence A Novel - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: An engrossing tragic tale spanning the thirteenth to the twentieth century Bound to Violence recounts the fate of the imaginary empire of Nakem and the dynasty of the Saifs who reign there as devious masters. While the novel was initially praised as an insider's guide to and critique of African history with its vivid descriptions of the brutality of local rulers and the slave trade Yambo Ouologuem's biting satire goes far beyond his native land. Through the society of Nakem he paints a universally relevant portrait of sex violence and power in human relationships. In this new edition of Ralph Manheim's vigorous translation professor and award - winning documentary filmmaker Cherif Keita provides invaluable context for the novel whose publication in the West was mired by accusations of plagiarism and fraught with racist undertones.
