Abstract

This year’s summer issue of Afrika Tanulmányok offers an interesting piece as its focal theme about Rwanda. Judit Bagi, who is a doctoral student at the University of Pécs and took part in the recent fieldwork project of the African Research Centre in Rwanda, in March 2015, writes about gender issues in the East African country. She recorded interviews with leaders of NGOs, ministers, academics focusing on female empowerment. György Konkoly-Thege again takes us with his fabulous photographs to unique African places, this time to a desert electronic music festival in Tunisia. Szilárd Biernaczky talks about L. S. Senghor and his reception in Hungary, also interpreting Senghor’s poetry, and at the same time, rejecting the accusations made against the négritude movement. István Tarrósy made an exclusive interview with the first black Member of Parliament of the Polish Sejm, John Abraham Godson, who after his elections was called by the voters as the “Obama of Poland”. Our summer issue ends with four book reviews dealing with a range of excellent volumes from Hungarian, Francophone and Anglo-Saxon academic literature. Enjoy this issue, too, and have a great summer!
