Reviews

Sara Hanaburgh's translation of Angèle Rawiri's Fureurs et cris des femmes--a novel and author that truly deserve more attention--has a great pace and manages to convey a sense of loss, anxiety, and increasing despair as articulated in the original text. Not only does the book not age or feel dated; it also brings out aspects of work and ethics and of ethnicity and group conflicts that are very timely.--Odile Cazenave, Professor of French Studies, Boston University
