AfrotopiaDunkler Kontinent, Elendsgebiet oder Rohstofflager der Welt, noch immer denken und reden wir ber Afrika in Stereotypen.

¿Dunkler Kontinent¿, ¿Elendsgebiet¿ oder ¿Rohstofflager der Welt¿, noch immer denken und reden wir über Afrika in Stereotypen. Und noch immer ist der Maßstab, mit dem wir den Zustand und die Perspektive des Kontinents beurteilen, das Entwicklungsmodell des Westens, selbst wenn sich dieses weltweit als höchst zerstörerisch erwiesen hat. In seinem bahnbrechenden Manifest, das zugleich Analyse und Utopie ist, fordert Felwine Sarr eine wirkliche Entkolonialisierung Afrikas, indem es sich auf seine vergessenen und verdrängten geistigen Ressourcen zurückbesinnt, ohne gleichwohl den Kontakt mit der Moderne zu verleugnen. So findet sich eine Fülle kulturellen und geistigen Reichtums, die auf ein anderes, ausgeglicheneres Verhältnis zwischen den Menschen und zwischen Mensch und Natur verweist. Die afrikanische Kulturrevolution bietet dabei auch für den Rest des Planeten dringend benötigte Ansätze, um eine bewusstere und würdevollere Zivilisation zu begründen. In 35 Jahren wird ein Viertel der Weltbevölkerung in Afrika zuhause sein - höchste Zeit, die verborgene Lebenskraft des Kontinents zu entdecken und das Zeitalter des Afrofuturismus einzuläuten.

Colorful and Vivid
Format: Hardcover
This picture book features vivid cut-paper illustrations that visualize the concrete images in the poetic text. I found aspects of the poem abstract enough that I'm not sure if young children would connect with it, but they can enjoy the rhythmic language and emphasis on phonic sounds related to the letter "O," even if some of the abstract thought is beyond them. The vivid and colorful pages will definitely appeal to both children and adults, and the book has a nice message about hope and God's love. Throughout the book, the letter "O" appears in different colors, and the note at the beginning of the book encourages children to find things in the illustration that start with that letter. Children could also count how many times the letter appears in the text. This would be a great choice for Christian families, churches, and Christian preschools, and would combine very well with a cut-paper craft for kids to do. The author's note also includes some open-ended discussion questions that adults can use with children.

Our Creative Designer Invites Us to Hope Fully in Him
Format: Kindle
Because I’m spending time now in the public schools, I’m seeing how desperately our children need an infusion of hope, so I’m thrilled to share an InterVarsity Press collaboration between poet Luci Shaw and illustrator Ned Bustard in which hope and joy meet. Little meaning-makers will be entertained by whimsical images and then gently introduced to our safe haven of hope, “the center of the loving heart of God.” The O in Hope grows up with your child, for toddlers can point to the multicolored O‘s on each page while older children identify the O words and play I SPY in search of critters beginning with the letter O. Both poetry and hope are meant to be spoken out loud, so wise parents who are determined to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering” will find strong support in words and images that point to the creative Designer whose faithfulness invites us to hope fully in him. Many thanks to IVP Kids for providing a copy of this book to facilitate my review, which is, of course, offered freely and with honesty.

A Treasure
Format: Hardcover
The O in Hope by Luci Shaw and illustrated by Ned Bustard is a beautiful book for children. This book is geared more for younger elementary students, although I read it to my ten year old son and we still loved it. Luci Shaw is an absolute treasure. I read this book after hearing her and Ned Bustard speak about this book on a podcast. I adore her personally and hope she has more poems turned into picture books like this. Ned Bustard was the perfect choice to illustrate this book. I highly recommend this beautiful, cheerful book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
