Incwadi enyanzelisayo ibethelela iinyaniso ezi-3 zobudlelwane

Incwadi esebenzayo inokusikhuthaza, isazise, ​​okanye isonwabise. Edwidge Danticat's Yonke into engaphakathi (I-Knopf, i-2019), ingqokelela yamabali amafutshane asibhozo, iyazenza ezi zinto zontathu. Ukongeza, le ncwadi, ephumelele iBhaso leSizwe labaGxeki beSekethe, ikhanyisa iinyaniso ezintathu zengqondo malunga nobudlelwane namandla amakhulu kunezona zifundo zinamandla.

Ilitye ngalinye kwingqokelela lichaza isiganeko esithile esikhanyisela ukukhanya malunga nendlela ekufuneka sinike ngayo uthando kwabanye, ixabiso lokunikezela elingaphezulu kwelokufumana, kunye nokungaphepheki kwentlungu kunye nelahleko ngenxa yenyani ebalulekileyo yokunganyanzeleki.

Incwadi kaDanticat ayonwabanga kwaphela-kodwa ke, nobomi abuphilwanga ngokupheleleyo. Abantu abakumabali akhe bahamba kubudlelwane babo nedini (umzekelo, "iDosas"), ukuzama ukulungisa ukungcatshwa kunye netyala malunga nokufa komlingane kunye nokufa komntwana ("Isipho"), okanye ukuphonononga iintlungu ezizodwa zokuvula intliziyo kunye nokufumanisa. ukuxhaphaza okanye ukonakala ngenye indlela (“iPort-au-Prince Special Special”). Kwelinye ibali ("Ngemihla yakudala"), ibhondi engabonakaliyo, ukulangazelela unxibelelwano lwe-phantom, ngokungazi kwenza nzima ukukhuthaza umfazi ongazange amazi utata wakhe. Kwenye into, umfazi onobuhlobo bobuntwana obabungumtya nethunga (“Amabali asixhenxe”) ubambelela kwisiqhotyoshelweyo esimele ukhuseleko. Ufumana umbono. Onke amabali anzima, abonisa ngaphezu kwenyani enye yobudlelwane.

Abantu kuwo onke amabali banobudlelwane neHaiti, nangona useto lusuka eBrooklyn luye eMiami ukuya ePort-au-Prince ukuya kwisiqithi esingaziwayo. Imvelaphi yabo ithatha uluhlu lwemfundo kunye namanqanaba ezoqoqosho, ubudala ukusuka ebusaneni ukuya kwisifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo, ukuthanda ubudlelwane kubuhlobo ukukrexeza. Iifom zothando kwiibhondi zobuntwana, ubudlelwane bosapho, ubudlelwane bezothando ngaphakathi nangaphandle komtshato, naphakathi komnini propri kunye nomqeshwa wakhe. Ubudlelwane obunqamleza ijografi, izizukulwana, ubude bexesha. Kodwa imixholo emithathu engapheliyo yengqondo ihamba ngamabali.

Kufuneka sithande kwaye sinikele. Amandla entliziyo yomntu ekuqondeni izigqibo akanakuphikwa kula mabali. Umnqweno wokukhathalela omnye umntu ukhuthaza abalinganiswa ukuba babandakanyeke kwiimeko apho bangcatshwayo, apho omnye umntu athandekayo ashiya omnye afumane isikolo sabantwana abasweleyo, okanye apho indoda ithatha inxaxheba kwindima katata, njengemizekelo. Iminyaka elishumi yophando lwengqondo igxininisa isidingo sokuncamathiselwa kunye nezibonelelo ezivela kubudlelwane obusondeleyo xa iibhondi zikhuselekile.

Ukupha kungaphezulu kokufumana. Amabali aliqela abonisa indlela abantu ababonisa ngayo uthando

Ukuzinikela ngokuzithandela komnye, njengekholeji kunyaka wokuqala ophendula isicelo sikatata walowo ahlala naye kwaye adlule indawo yakhe yokuthuthuzela ukukhuthaza umntu ahlala naye ukuba angabuyeli esikolweni, okanye umama osele ekhulile ofuna ukuba intombi yakhe ikwazi ukuqonda ulonwabo wokubingelela usana olusandul 'ukuzalwa. Nokuba umfazi onehotele uzincama ngokuzinikela ukuze akhathalele umqeshwa osweleyo. Uncwadi lwakwangoko lwengqondo kubungqina bokuzincama lubonisa izibonelelo zokupha ezigqwesa ezo zokufumana. Kutshanje, uphando malunga nesisa, isihloko esithandwayo kwisayikholoji elungileyo, lubonakalisile ukubaluleka kokukwazi ukunika into ebonwa ixabisekile kwabanye. Uthando lokuzithandela, olubizwa ngokuba yi "agape," luye lwaphononongwa kuncwadi ukusuka kokomoya ukuya kwiprosaic, kwizifundo zethiyori kunye nezobuchwephesha.

Ukungaphepheki kunye nentlungu yelahleko. Kuwo onke amabali kwi Yonke into engaphakathi , umfundi

udibana nokungaphepheki kwelahleko. Ubomi butshintshwa ngonaphakade, nokuba kungokufa kwendalo, ingozi, ukulahlwa, ukugula, okanye ukubulawa. Intlungu eyenza indlela yayo kuzo zonke ezisibhozo zale miqobo ikhethekileyo ivela ekugqibeleni, kunye nentlungu engenakuphepheka yokuphulukana nomntu omthandayo kufuneka ihlupheke. Nangona kunjalo izinamathiselo zihlala zixabisa ixabiso ekufuneka lihlawulwe xa kusokola ilahleko.

Amabali kaDanticat, abhalwe ngelizwi elinamandla kwaye "ayinyani," akhanyisela intliziyo yothando, ukusuka kwimfuno yethu enzima yokuthanda, ukuya kwisisa somoya osikhuthazayo, kwinyani yokugqibela yabantu yokulila kwaye, ngethemba, Ukomelela kwethu kunye nokukhula kobulumko esikufumanayo xa sijamelene nelahleko. Ndiyabacebisa njenge-primer yokuba ngabantu kwihlabathi lobudlelwane.
