Sista, Stanap Strong!

A Vanuatu Women's Anthology

Herausgeber: Nyman, Mikaela; Tobo Olul-Hossen, Rebecca

Beschreibung

"New writing from Vanuatu by three generations of women - and the first of its kind. With poetry, fiction, essay, memoir and song, its narrative arc stretches from the days of blackbirding to Independence in 1980 to Vanuatu's coming of age in 2020 ... The writers in this anthology have chosen to harness the coloniser's language, English, for their own purposes. They are writing against racism, colonialism, misogyny and sexism. Writing across bloodlines and linguistic boundaries. Professing their love for ancestors, offspring and language - Bislama, vernacular and English"--Back cover.

Autor

Mikaela Nyman is a Kiwi-Finn, born on the autonomous, demilitarised Åland Islands. Four years in Vanuatu, a sister's death, and a cyclone (TC Pam 2015) changed her life. Her PhD research focused on creative writing, rhetorical alliance, and Ni-Vanuatu women's voices. Her first novel, Sado (VUP, 2020), is set in Vanuatu. Her first poetry collection, När vändkrets läggs mot vändkrets, nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize 2020, links the Åland Islands, Vanuatu, and New Zealand. Rebecca Tobo Olul-Hossen's poetry and short stories have been exhibited and read in public in Port Vila. A collaborative poem with Mikaela Nyman in NZ literary journal Sport 47 was her first published piece. In 2020 she had poems published in Sista, the collection Voes (Alliance Française), and the poetry anthology Rising Tides (South Pacific Community). She is one of the authors and editors of Vanuatu's first non-fiction book for children, Taf Tumas: Different journeys, one people (2020). She lives in Port Vila with her husband, sons, and daughter.
