Building on the notion of âpraise,â Adama Delphine Fawundu frames this book as a celebration of life. She honors the stories whispered to her by her mother; she adorns her body in her grandmotherâs textile work; she elevates the memory of various named and unnamed Black women of the diaspora and documents the iconic small Civil War era styled white wooded praise house on a patch of land off the side of a road in South Carolina not far from Beaufort creating an intimate body of work of color photography of an interconnected history. Fawundu connects to the self through history, joy, and beauty and offers the reader ways to navigate fear based on migration and loss. It is a gift, too, as it allows us to imagine alongside the artist.

LĂścher stopfen, schĂźrfen, Zeit retten, heulen. âAus der ersten Personâ ist eine persĂśnliche Erkundung filmischer Autobiografien / Autofiktion: ein freies Umherschweifen durch Räume und Leben, in und aus welchen im weitesten Sinn ein Ich spricht. Das Buch folgt Blicken nach innen, aus dem Fenster und ins Weite, vollzieht Passagen, Denkbewegungen und kĂśrperliche Erfahrungen nach, und tastet sich durch das unbefestigte Gelände von Erinnerungen. Im Zentrum stehen filmische Analogien zu Schreibakten wie Tagebuchfilm, Journal, Filmpoem und Travelogue sowie Reenactments.
