Portraits of Society — Distilled Edition (Dieudonné Bacinoni)
A plane, a cargo ship, an elephant, a mountain — and at the centre, the world turning. Dieudonné Bacinoni portrays a society seen both from above and from within.
The cover alone sets the tone: a Christ-like figure above, a globe below where a plane, a cargo ship, a mountain and an elephant all cross paths — society as an entire world held in a single glance. Dieudonné Bacinoni, a Burundian writer, poet and novelist, moves here into a third register after his poetry collections and a novel: the social essay.
An author who lived what he describes
Born September 16, 1969 in Ngagara, more than twenty years in exile in Rwanda, a former combatant of the CNDD-FDD political-military movement turned senior officer in Burundi's National Police, holding a degree in communication for development — Bacinoni doesn't observe society from the outside, he has lived through it.
« Distilled edition » delivers exactly what it promises: the essential, without the excess, a tight read focused on what, in a society, truly deserves to be looked at head-on.
