Miaka 20 iliyopita, Hotuba ya William Penn katika Mkutano wa Kila Mwaka wa Philadelphia ilitolewa na Jean Toomer, wakati huo karani msaidizi wa Halmashauri ya Mkutano wa Kila Mwaka ya Wizara na Ushauri. Inayoitwa, ” Ladha ya Mwanadamu<\/a> ,” ilishuhudia ndoto kuu ambayo alikuwa nayo katika kukomaa kwa mawazo yake ya ndani. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Kuzaliwa mara ya pili kunangojea. Ikiwa tungetoa maua kwa njia ya asili, tunapaswa kubaki katika utaratibu wa asili-wa kibinadamu. Mpango wa Mungu kwa ajili yetu ni kwamba tuinuke juu zaidi, kwa nguvu ya chachu yake na mbegu ndani yetu, kupitia kuzaliwa kiroho ndani ya utaratibu wa kiungu wa kibinadamu. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Muda mrefu kabla ya hapo, Jean Toomer alichanua mashairi na aina mpya za fasihi ambazo zilipata njia yao katika magazeti madogo yaliyokuwa yakitafuta na kugundua nahau mpya ya kifasihi.<\/p>\n\n

Kwa hivyo mnamo 1923 Cane<\/em> ilionekana katika toleo dogo ambalo leo ni hazina ya mkusanyaji na halijachapishwa. Kwa sababu ilikuwa miongo kadhaa kabla ya wakati wake, hii ”black classic” imetolewa tena kama nguvu ya ”nafsi” ambayo imeathiri maandishi mengi katika wakati wetu. ( Friends Journal<\/em> ilichapisha pitio la toleo jipya la jalada gumu la Cane<\/em> katika toleo la Februari 15, 1968<\/a> , ona ukurasa wa 87.)<\/p>\n\n

Ilipoonekana mara ya kwanza, wakaguzi kwa ujumla walipigwa na butwaa. Ushairi na nathari zilichapwa pamoja katika aina ya frappe. Uhalisia ulichanganywa na fumbo. Huu ni ushuhuda wa Arna Bontemps, ambaye ameanzisha toleo hili jipya katika kumuenzi Jean Toomer na ukweli wa wasifu unaofichua maisha ya kutafuta nafsi. <\/p>\n\n

Muda wa maisha ya Jean Toomer, 1894\u20131967, ulisababisha kazi ndogo iliyochapishwa isipokuwa Cane<\/em> . Baada ya kifo chake, wingi wa vipande elfu thelathini vya maandishi vilitolewa kwa wosia kwa mkusanyo mashuhuri wa maandishi meusi katika maktaba ya Chuo Kikuu cha Fisk huko Nashville, Tennessee. Huenda ndani yake kuna wasifu wa mtu ambaye alikuwa akiandika kwa ajili ya utamaduni wake kupitia kipindi cha mwamko, mwamko, mgogoro, na mapinduzi kuelekea utambulisho. <\/p>\n\n

Mimea<\/em> iko katika sehemu tatu. Katika sehemu ya kwanza ni Karintha, Carma, Fern, Esther, nyimbo za jioni, na picha kutoka vijijini vya Georgia. Hakuwa amekulia huko, lakini aliandika, ”ziara ya Georgia msimu uliopita wa vuli ilikuwa mahali pa kuanzia karibu kila kitu cha thamani ambacho nimefanya.” <\/p>\n\n

Mazingira basi huhama katika sehemu ya pili kwenda Washington, ambapo alizaliwa. Furaha na uchungu, uzuri na ubaya, wema na uovu\u2014hakutakuwa na jamii nzuri iliyozaliwa kutoka katika makazi duni ya vijijini na ghetto nyeusi ya mijini? <\/p>\n\n

Katika sehemu ya tatu kunaweza kuwa na kidokezo. Ni karibu unabii wa kile kinachoendelea leo. Utamaduni mweusi unaonekana kupata roho. Miwa<\/g> ilionekana kabla ya propaganda. Si ajabu ilishangiliwa na wakosoaji na waandishi na ”kuashiria mwamko ambao muda mfupi baadaye ulianza kuitwa Ufufuo wa Weusi.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3093442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"fpb_issue_category":[],"class_list":["post-3128164","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nMiwa - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/miwa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Miwa - Friends Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Jean Toomer.
