Biography & True StoriesAND THEN THAT'S ENOUGH: Manifesto of a Black Italian Female
by Espérance Hakuzwimana Ripanti
After a life spent answering other people's questions and curiosities, about her origins, her skin, her opinions, Espérance Hakuzwimana Ripanti uses writing as a tool to regain her space and expose herself, reveal herself – in her own way, in her own terms, on her own conditions. "And Then Enough is the story of how I came out of my room making real everything I found in books and over the years. A hero's call to which I responded in my own way, never forgetting my story, which began in Rwanda, and the limits found on the streets of Italy. The story of myself, which I only wanted to read, and of a summer that instead changed my life." But it is also the story of her traveling companions, of the experiences that marked her the most, of the protagonists who shared the front lines with her. An essay, a biography, a ballad, a manifesto: the story of her struggle against prejudice, and finally the search for solutions.
