Letter to Tita
Volume 2
Fruit of that Africa, the great, the pure, the traditional and the nostalgic, Letter to Tita is food for thought. It's a deep investigation which, not with standing the simplicity of subjects and illustrations, raises the debates of the moment. Those of an Africa that seems to be caught in a trap, as during the colonial era or the era of Pyrrhic independence.
It's a voice that spins in order to shake a continent which drags on to go, with its cultural substratum, to the appointment of global construction.
The text presents the inhabitants of Zilan-village bruised by imposed and maladjusted political and economic models that sink into the pitiless misadventures of globalisation. What remains of their wealth of yesteryear symbolised by Tita ? How do they perceive the future ? And what future ?
After a first volume, which is an unquestionable delight of colourful clichés of that Africa which is dying, volume 2 is a real lampoon in which the author exposes, in barely veiled denunciation, the devastations of modernity.
Of a rare wealth, the second volume of Letter to Tita is therefore, without doubt, a serious regermination of the emergency of a debate on awareness and blooming around an Africa certainly tormented, but which should finally regain its self control in order to fulfil itself by making appropriate choices.
