Forthcoming
Tales from the Ongumbati:
My Early Years with the Ovahimba Community
A collection of short essays based on my first years of fieldwork with the Ovahimba of Namibia and Angola.
The essays explore the human adventure of an ethnographer settling with a family of African tribesmen and women, the encounter with the Ovahimba, an extraordinary people, who observe ancestral traditions and possess a vast and complex thought system. As intimate accounts based on real life characters, writing the essays was a means of coming to grips with the foreignness of the world in which I lived. They explore the development of my relationship as fieldworker with the Headman of Etanga and his extended family and relations. |

Le huitième mort de Tibhirine
Préface d'Antoine Sfeir
Devant ce travail colossal, minutieux, on ne peut que s’incliner…
4e de couverture
Victime d’une campagne calomnieuse sans précédent, en février 2004, le grand reporter Didier Contant fait une chute mortelle d’un immeuble parisien alors qu’il s’apprêtait à publier son enquête sur la mort des moines de Tibhirine en Algérie en 1996. Les résultats d’un long travail d’investigation sur le terrain à Blida par l’ancien rédacteur en chef de l’agence Gamma confirment que les moines ont été enlevés et assassinés par le GIA (Groupe Islamiste Armé).
Mais à Paris, des confrères affirment auprès des rédactions parisiennes que Didier Contant travaillait pour les services français et algériens dans le cadre de son enquête sur les moines, déconseillant toute publication de son investigation. Ces lobbies, composés de journalistes, d’éditeurs, d’avocats et d’organisations de droits de l’homme, brandissent le témoignage d’un sous-officier transfuge de l’armée algérienne, tendant à prouver l’implication de l’armée dans le rapt des moines. Didier Contant vivait cette campagne calomnieuse comme une catastrophe professionnelle ; dépossédé de son honneur, de sa dignité et de la capacité de gagner sa vie, il ne put l’accepter.
Rina Sherman livre un témoignage saisissant sur la mort de son compagnon, Didier Contant. Pour rendre hommage à l’homme qu’elle a aimé, elle raconte avec brio leur grande histoire d’amour et la tragédie qu’ils ont vécues. Son récit se lit comme un roman, comme un thriller, dans lequel suspense, investigation et combat se confondent dans une réflexion essentielle : Il ne faut pas se taire afin que soit respecté l’un des droits fondamentaux de l’homme, celui de la liberté d’expression. |
Press release of the book
« Le huitième mort de Tibhirine »
A riveting account of Sherman's counter-investigation into the circumstances of the death of French Grand Reporter Didier Contant who fell to his death whilst investigating the assassination of the monks of Tibhirine.
Le huitième mort de Tibhirine
The Eighth Death of Tibhirine
Foreword by Antoine Sfeir Director of the Cahiers de l’Orient
In response to this exhaustive and meticulous work, one can only bow down »
Press Release, 26 February 2007
15 February 2004. Didier Contant, independent journalist, is victim of a mortal fall from the balcony of a Parisian building. The police hastily announces a suicide. However, many questions remain unanswered.
At the time of his death, co-journalists, determined to undermine his most recent investigation into the kidnapping and assassination of the Tibhirine monks in 1995, harassed the former editor in chief of Gamma. They accused him of working for the French and Algerian secret services and discredited him with the magazine that could have published his story. His honour and reputation profoundly damaged, Didier Contant could not tolerate the slander and died under mysterious circumstances.
Only one journalist dared to evoke the responsibility of the co-journalists from Canal+ in his death: Jean-François Kahn in the weekly magazine, Marianne. At first condemned for slander, Kahn has just won his appeal case which established a direct link between the doings of the Canal + journalists and the death of Didier Contant. In « Le huitième mort de Tibhirine », Contant’s companion exposes the irresponsible and abject behaviour of those who wanted to silence Didier Contant and who succeeded beyond what they may have imagined. A poignant story about the cry of a woman who refuses to accept the official version, who fights both for the truth and the memory of the man she loved. |

Over Zuid-Afrikaanse literatuur
door Luc Renders
"Ook Uitreis van Rina Sherman en het drama Die jogger van André Brink kunnen als belijdenisliteratuur getypeerd worden. In beide teksten worden apartheid en persoonlijke geschiedenis onontwarbaar met elkaar verstrengeld. In Uitreis keert Tilda Kaufman, een bannelinge woonachtig in Parijs, naar huis terug om de begrafenis van haar vader bij te wonen. Onvermijdelijk volgt een terugblik op haar jeugdjaren die door een autoritaire en liefdeloze vaderfiguur werden gedomineerd.
Ondanks de verzuurde relatie en de uitgeproken politieke meningsverschillen blijven Tilda's gevoelens tussen liefde en haat oscilleren en komt het nooit tot een volledige breuk. Toch heeft haar vader permanent haar vermogen tot liefde gesmoord. Tilda's leven bestaat uit een opeenvolging van afscheiden: van haar jeugd, haar ouders, Zuid-Afrika, haar minnaars. Uitreis is een waardevolle toevoeging tot de Zuid-Afrikaanse diaspora literatuur."

The diaspora in recent Afrikaans literature
Paper delivered at the University of Zimbabwe,
Harare, August 1999
1. The diaspora of the Afrikaner tribe
Rina Sherman's Uitreis tells the story of a young actress Tilda Kaufman, an exile who lives in Paris. Her return visit at the occasion of her father's death is a searching visit to south Africa and her own past. Once again politics and personal affairs become inextricably intertwined. Her youth was spoiled by an authoritarian and loveless father, by a mother who was very submissive and a brother who could not contain his bouts of anger. Her parents and brother are very conservative and supporters of the policies of the National Party. Her father is even a member of the Broederbond, the notorious secret organisation, promoting the interests of an inner circle of Afrikaners. Tilda herself is a rebel, wanting to break loose from the straitjacket of Afrikaner nationalism. She becomes a actress, joins a black theatre group and has a relationship with a fellow black actor, Sidi. In Paris too she has an affair with a black person, which does not come to fruition either. She has an abortion and goes to live on her own once again.
South African society is protrayed as extremely racist and patriarchical, its religious bigotry, their selfdestructiveness (128). Tilda revolts against all aspects of it. She rejects everything her parents stand for. In the end she cannot cope with, that is why she leaves the country: "Eendag het Tilda uit haar lewe geloop. Omdat Pa haar nie liefgehad het nie. Omdat Paul haar geslaan het. Omdat sy skaam was vir haar land, haar mense en haarself. Om liefde te soek." (21). On the plane out she muses, on an echo of Huismans characters: "Ek wou nog altyd uit my lewe padgee. Hier is die oomblik nou. Ek kom nie terug nie. Ek het genoeg gehad!" (178).
The life of an exile is also vividly portrayed. It is dominated by loneliness: In this way exile becomes a metaphor for life itself. That too is a fruitless search for fulfilment: "Ja, hoe, 'n mens jou ook al met ander omring, jy is altyd alleen. Die res, samesyn, is dromery." (212) en "Ja, verlore in my enkeldheid. Niks bly vir my meer staande nie. Al wat my kan red, is om my sin vir humor te behou." (215). Besides this element on her return home she voices critical opinions about the white government which result in her being cast into the role of an outsider: "Inderdaad, my kind, jy is nie meer een van ons nie." (70) Indeed France has become her country. She does not know the customs anymore (75): "Jy verstaan niks meer wat hier aangaan nie." (86).
Despite this soured relationship and the outspoken political differences Tilda's feelings keep on oscillating between love and hate with the result that it never comes to a final break. Nevertheless, her father has permanently damaged her capacity to love. The life of Tilda is a permanent departure: from her youth, her parents, her lovers, South Africa. She has to distance herself from her parents and her country in order to gain her freedom. She returns to France because it is where her future lies and this despite the fact that South Africa has freed Nelson Mandela (80). Uitreis is a very moving novel in which the themes of exile and the complicated relationship with the mother country and all it entails are sharply brought into focus. It is a raw book, scarcely hiding its biographical origins. |
