Hou je stil

“Een verdwijning van een van ons haalt het nieuws niet, omdat het geen nieuws is. De rest van de wereld denkt niet aan je – niet als ze jouw coke snuiven, niet als ze de kleding dragen die jij maakte, niet als ze je hun land uitzetten.” Dit is het verhaal over de uit Mexico gevluchte Alex, een teruggetrokken jongen die stage loopt op een Nederlandse universiteit en probeert te redden wat er te redden valt. Om te leven moet hij praten, om te overleven juist niet. Hou je stil is een meeslepende roman over dichte grenzen en grenzeloze moed, over de kracht van taal en het troebele onderscheid tussen daders en slachtoffers. Alle personages in dit boek zijn verzonnen. De feiten niet. Het boek is gebaseerd op jarenlang onderzoek en verhalen van mensen met ervaring met vluchten of uitgezet worden, mensen werkzaam in asielrecht, docenten van verschillende (Mexicaanse) universiteiten, traumapsychologen, mensenrechtenactivisten, journalisten, ondergedoken mensen, en slachtoffers en daders van kartel/bendegeweld. Het verhaal schijnt licht op de impact van (internationale) overheden op individuen alsook op drugs gerelateerd en seksueel geweld. Ook legt dit aangrijpende verhaal de complexe relatie bloot tussen ‘drugslanden’ zoals Mexico en Europa: een continent dat haar grenzen steeds meer optrekt voor asielzoekers en tegelijkertijd een grote cocaïnedoorvoerder en – gebruiker is.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
