Bintou's Braids par Sylvianne Diouf
Bintou longs for braids like adults but they say she is too young. In the African culture displayed in the book, braided hairstyles were only for mature elder woman. She aspired to be like her sister and those around her with gold coins and seashells in her hair. She wanted so badly to fit in and feel beautiful within her physical attributes such as hair. She does a good responsible deed of getting help for drowning boys, she then earns a reward. She wanted her reward to be nice braids like everyone else but she keeps her tuffs and adds blue and yellow birds like in her dreams. The tuffs she decided made her different which could be good, she was beautiful without copying others. She finally felt happy and pretty. The illustrations done by Evans transforms you into Bintou's culture and environment very well.… (plus d'informations)
Bintou wants braids like her big sister, but she is told she is not a "grown up" girl yet. When Bintou saves the lives of two boys in the village, she is given the opportunity to get braids as a reward, but she must decide if she will choose to go against her grandmother's advice. Colorful illustrations and a story kids will relate to about both wanting and feeling anxious about growing up.
"Diouf fills in any hole left by my education (and I presume yours too)-she goes into great detail defining maroonage, the types of maroonage and how the communities were formed and sustained. "

Piecing together legal records, oral history, memoirs and the like, Diouf aims to put the American expression of the maroon phenomena into context. While not generating large communities as happened in, say, Jamaica and Guinea, Diouf argues that over time there was a substantial number of self-freed slaves that lived in an uneasy symbiosis with the plantation economy and whose will to live their own lives as much as possible served as a rebuke to the slave culture of the Old South.
