My friend’s daughter loved it and it inspired us to visit Rofhiwa Books in Durham. Thank you, Randall Robinson for speaking to the next generation of Pan Africanist’s.

Les yeux perçants de Makeda l'aveugle

Recensito in Francia 🇫🇷 il 26 maggio 2015

Acquisto verificato

Ce livre m'a scotché, j'ai lu chaque page et bu chaque mot avec un plaisir indescriptible. La complicité qui lie Makeda à son petit fils Gray n'est rien à côté des histoires magnifiques et royales qu'elle lui raconte et qu'elle décrit avec une précision et une justesse déroutante si l'on garde en mémoire que Makeda est aveugle. Ce qui m'a fascinée c'est de découvrir encore une fois, la facilité avec laquelle l'histoire mondiale a été modifié, falsifié pendant des siècles par ceux qui tenaient la plume et servaient des mensonges éhontés en les présentant tel des paroles d'évangile qui au fur et a mesure que le peuple noire s'est enfermé dans sa peur et son aliénation, trop occupé à s'auto mutiler et à vouloir ressembler à l'ideal que lui imposait son bourreau, on fini par passer pour des faits établit, des exactitudes. Comme le dit si bien Makeda, certain se contente de regarder la cloture qui les abrite et se complaisent dans cette sensation de sécurité qu'elle offre, tandisque d'autres regardent au de la de ces barrières, de ces clotures qui sécurisent (en apparence) et qui réduisent les champs d'actions et cette capacité à penser autrement. Ceux qui osent ne sont pas ne sont pas dépourvu de peur, ils prennent simplement le risque de penser et d'agir autrement,au risque de devenir la cible de moquerie et de raillerie. Comment concevoir et croire que les Dogons, peuple d'Afrique avaient fait découvert l'existence de Sirius bien des siècles avant les occidentaux n'en parle comme de l'ultime découverte du siècle ? bref je recommande ce roman à tous ceux qui sont ouvert d'esprit, il est multi dimensionnel, c'est un roman humain et historique. Il n'est pire aveugle que celui qui ne veut pas voir...

A Mystical, Lyrical Book And A Timely Commentary On Racism

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 27 giugno 2020

Acquisto verificato

I stayed up until my eyes were burning, my vision blurred, and my head pounded so that I could finish this beautiful, powerful book in one sitting.
I expected to be intrigued by the relationship between the boy shared with his grandmother, and by the theme of reincarnation that runs throughout the story.
I didn’t expect to have a breakthrough insight into the Black experience.
I’m so grateful to have read this book when I did, in the wake of two deaths-by-cop of Black men, and the racial unrest that has taken over the country.
I believe this book is a blessing to people of all colors.

Great historical context!!!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 3 maggio 2017

I gave this book a five star because it is awesome on so many levels. For one, I was really by Makeda's character. She was so insightful. I liked how she prepared her grandson to be his highest self. The other characters weregreat as well and showed readers that Robinson put a lot of work into their development. Most of all, I enjoyed the historical context. I learned so much African history and discovered new authors that I plan to look into. Overall, this book challenged me to look outside my paradigm and think about civil right issues from a different perspective. These are just a few of the things that I enjoyed about the book. The book is totally awesome and completely different than what I thought it would be!

Poignant and enlightening

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 9 aprile 2012

Acquisto verificato

As I finished reading Makeda, I became overwhelmed with emotion. It is poignantly enlightening as to the deep, deep ignorance we as black people have about ourselves and our tremendous impact on the world. Our knowledge,sadly, has little depth. This book is the start of my correcting that gap in my education. The writing is challenging and thought-provoking. I also had the great pleasure of hearing Randall Robinson speak about Makeda...an experience not to be missed! On a personal note, I connected to Makeda's words on death. My mother died unexpectedly a few months ago and the book helped me embrace that event as a 'passing' instead of an end. "My spirit will always be close enough to touch and protect you all. So, do not grieve for me. My body will die, but my soul will live on. For my soul cannot die. Always remember that my soul is the spark of God in me." Beautiful.

Home Run!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 15 settembre 2011

Acquisto verificato

By the title alone, if you are a reader who enjoys "factual" fiction you know you are in for a treat. The book is essentially a coming-of-age story, but told with a backdrop of African history. When and where have the Dogon been mentioned in a work of fiction? The thoughts that run through Gray's mind are certainly designed to be instructive to the reader. It is rare that a novel can be educational in regards to African history, and how it relates to the contemporary African-American but Makeda is that. Randall Robinson has hit a home run with his first novel.

Truly enlightening!

This book broaden my concept of history beyond what I had previously considered possible. I have read it twice hoping to take in every detail. I am from white Anglo background, and felt as touched by Gray’s family relationships as by the African history.
I have recommended to my book club and to all my friends

Always open minded

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 2 novembre 2014

Acquisto verificato

This book is informed by the author's travels to validate his grandmother's dreams of other incarnations. I was,as usual,fascinated by well researched ancient history. We are so busy in our own lives,that many times we forget that there were living,thriving cultures well before we arrived on the scene. I loved the relationship between grandmother and grandson, and her reason for choosing him over others. I could not put this book down and am inclined to believe his story of Makeda and her incarnations as fact. Lovely prose.

MAKEDA- AN EDUCATIONAL, SPIRITUAL, LITERARY GOLDMINE!!!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 23 giugno 2017

Acquisto verificato

This is by far the most TRANSFORMATIVE novel I have ever read. When I was reading this book I experienced a spiritual sensation that I have never experienced before when reading any book. It seemed to pull a lot of feelings about our people and the situation that we find ourselves in out of the deeper regions of my soul".

Makeda is a Masterpiece

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 27 gennaio 2012

Acquisto verificato

I finished this book in two days and it is still vivid in my mind. I cried profusely through it and after reading. The deft way in which Mr. Robinson illustrated the love affair between grandmother and grandson and the estrangement between Gray and his parents was profound. The symbolism of "seeing" was not lost on me. This manuscript is a masterpiece that deftly lifts beneath the psychology of blacks in America and deconstructs it. Gray represents us all.

Thank you Mr. Robinson for writing this.
