the whispering of the others
This volume of poetry is an artistic production by two authors with common values but different paths in life: Sara Ehsan, of Iranian origin, lives in Karlsruhe; Alain Alfred Moutapam, Cameroonian, lives in Paris. With succinctness, with depth, her poems deal with important issues that affect all of humanity, especially the nationals of countries that suffer or have suffered from brutal foreign rule. Whether it is the distorted history of the African continent, or aggressions such as the slave trade, colonization, neo-colonization, Eurocentrism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, wars of geostrategic positioning, this collection sheds new light on the analysis of history and historiography from antiquity to the present day .
