Bozambo’s Revenge by Bertène Juminer

“Everyone must join us, sooner or later, to take an active part in the struggle because no matter how severe the mutilation, the deep roots survive.”

  A clever satirical topsy-turvy novel Bozambo’s Revenge or Colonialism Inside Out by Guyanese author Dr. Bertène Juminer was first published in the notable year of 1968. Juminer’s third novel it Imagines a dominate Africa and colonized Europe. Though written decades prior it also calls to mind the similar book by Abdourahman A. Waberi In the United States of Africa. The entrenched foundations of colonialism, imperialism, racism, and struggles are exposed down to language itself. Translator Alexandra Bonfante Warren also has a wonderful preface on the challenges and politics of language. A book that is humorous, inherently the text is also very adept and serious about oppression. A mirror world of such corrupt structures with individuals for benefit and harm navigating them.

  Bozambo’s Revenge or Colonialism Inside Out by Dr. Bertène Juminer is available in English, translated by Alexandra Bonfante Warren, in print from Three Continents Press

March 2023

March had a lot of ups and downs so 2023 is really continuing to not impress me. However, a limited-edition release of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon with a Q Posket Petit Figure fashioned after the first appearance of Sailor Moon in the comic was something I couldn’t pass up. It comes bundled with the newest English edition of volume 1.

This 2022 edition of the comic series by Kodansha USA is based on the 2018 Naoko Takeuchi Collection bunko, basically a cheap travel size edition. As a budget release there’s one colour page.

Whereas the Eternal edition had several (as I showed the chapter spread next to the figure at the top). This newer English edition also has tweaks to the translation around certain terms or puns. Not always for the better IMHO. By the way I’ve already done a large comparison between multiple Japanese and English editions back in 2019. I still recommend the Eternal edition.

Bozambo’s Revenge by Bertène Juminer

Con immenso dolore comunichiamo che Edy Ongaro, nome di battaglia Bozambo, è caduto da combattente per difendere il popolo libero di Novorossia dal regime fascista di Kiev.

Dalle prime informazioni ricevute sappiamo che si trovava in trincea con altri soldati quando è caduta una bomba a mano lanciata dal nemico. Edy si è gettato sull'ordigno facendo una barriera con il suo corpo. Si è immolato eroicamente per salvare la vita ai suoi compagni.

Edy era nato 46 anni fa a Portogruaro, Venezia, raggiunto il Donbass nel 2015 non lo aveva più lasciato.

Era un compagno coraggioso ma fragile ed in Italia aveva commesso degli errori.

In Donbass ha trovato il suo riscatto, dedicando tutta la sua vita alla difesa dei deboli e alla lotta contro gli oppressori.

Ha servito per anni nelle fila di diversi corpi delle milizie popolari del Donbass fino alla fine dei suoi giorni.

Il suo martirio serva a rompere il castello di bugie di questa guerra, ma soprattutto a rilanciare la lotta antifascista e internazionalista.

Il sacrificio di Edy mostri la forza del proletariato che saprà portare al trionfo del comunismo.

Ti salutiamo compagno partigiano con il motto che ti era tanto caro: "Morte al fascismo, libertà al Popolo"

I compagni
