Mandela (Muthos)

Une biographie adoptant un style proche du conte oral, très chantant, qui se veut d'avantage une célébration de la vie…
de cet homme inspirant qu'un récit d'ordre factuel. Le texte est ainsi parsemé d'onomatopées, de tirades célèbres, mais également de citations de Mandela, qui sont rehaussées en bleu. Quelques apartés permettent également de mieux comprendre comment l'apartheid a émergé en Afrique du Sud, d'en connaître un peu plus sur Winnie Mandela et de lire le poème " Invictus ". Des astérisques parsèment également les paragraphes succincts, mais ceux-ci sont aléatoirement associés aux termes définis dans le glossaire en fin d'ouvrage et aux citations de Mandela, ce qui peut générer de la confusion. Une présentation de différents présidents sud-africains, d'une ligne du temps et de questions philosophiques clôt cette biographie animée d'aquarelles de synthèse à la fois naïves et dramatiques.

topics. It tells the history of a political and social movement that advocates for non-violent civil disobedience and protests against incidents of police brutality—and all racially motivated violence—against Black people . When a Black teenager named Trayvon Martin was senselessly killed in 2012, the African American community called for his murderer to be held accountable. But like many other racially sparked incidents in the past, his killer walked free. People looked for justice and healing in the moment. They turned to social media and a simple yet powerful hashtag emerged, #BlackLivesMatter. The message grew into an international movement and has now become the rallying cry during protests against police brutality and racial acts of violence. The movement gained even more attention and support in 2020 when it called for police reform in the United States after the police-related murder of George FloydTurning pages: my life story
