My personal message:
A fellow made this observation on a discussion forum:
“Building a lasting peace in Sierra Leone can only begin with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the country's past. The past holds many lessons that will aid in forging a politically and economically healthy Sierra Leone. Knowledge and understanding are the most powerful deterrents to the recurrence of conflict as Sierra Leone strives to give meaning to the sentiments of 'never again'. In closing, therefore, the Commission reiterates its call to readers to take the time to study and widely discuss with others as many of the other volumes and chapters of the Report as possible.”
Leaving me to share this with you. Let us spread the Sierra Leone Story to ensure that ‘never again’ remains “never again:
Follow us through an artistic journey into the Sierra Leone Civil War; just another experience in the tortuous journey through persistent political violence across the world. Representations of Violence: Art about the Sierra Leone Civil War is a riveting travelling documentary telling a civil war story in brilliant and, surprisingly confronting colors of bright reds, yellows and greens. This exhibition catalog and conference proceedings, ISBN 0-615-12818-1 edited by Patrick K. Muana and Chris Corcoran, highlights the despicable agony that the people of Sierra Leone endured during eleven years of civil war.
The catalog includes 41 color reproductions of the art that appeared in the exhibition of the same name as well as scholarly work addressing issues of violence and art and the Sierra Leone civil war by notable scholars from Europe, Africa and the United States. The book is a must have for Sierra Leoneans, friends of Sierra Leone, humanitarian workers, human rights advocates, art historians, artists, art lovers, or anyone curious about matters relating to international relations and the role of politics in creating conflicts in Africa and beyond. It is yours free with a donation of $25 or more while supplies last.
