Zwanzig Jahre nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter erfährt Katmé Abbia, dass das Grab verlegt werden soll. Während ihr Mann Tashun, Präfekt der Hauptstadt, die erneuten Beerdigungszeremonien dazu nutzt, seine politische Karriere um jeden Preis voranzutreiben, gerät das Leben seiner Frau immer mehr aus den Fugen. Als Samy, ihr lebenslanger Freund und Vertrauter, am Tag der Eröffnung seiner regimekritischen Ausstellung verhaftet und seine Homosexualität öffentlich in den Medien ausgebreitet wird, kollidieren die politischen Ambitionen Katmés Mannes mit ihren eigenen Überzeugungen und stellen sie vor die schwerste Entscheidung ihres Lebens. Ante Mortem ist das innere Porträt einer afrikanischen Frau im 21. Jahrhundert, die gegen gesellschaftliche Normen und ihre eigene Vergangenheit kämpft, sowie eine tiefgründige Reflexion über gesellschaftspolitische Realitäten und Tabus, skrupellose Machtspiele, Homosexualität und Hass in einer zeitgenössischen Gesellschaft.

Thoughtful and honest
Format: Kindle
I am so glad I read this! I've heard the term "cultural appropriation" many more times than I can count, but I hadn't thought about it in the context of religion. Bucar's writing is so engaging, and the book is a great blend of narrative non-fiction and theory. I couldn't put it down! Highly recommend.

An important and interesting read; well written and researched
Format: Hardcover
The author uses personal experiences to illustrate and enliven the text. Ms. Bucar challenges us to look at our own reactions, thoughts and practices. I would recommend this book for discussion at my book club.

Not what I was hoping for
Format: Paperback
I've been interested in the topic of religious appropriation ever since I saw my non-Tibetan neighbor hang Tibetan prayer flags on his front porch. And when I lived in Japan, I saw that non-Christian Japanese appropriated all of the trappings of Western Christian wedding ceremonies. So I had high hopes for this book. But it reads like a very looooong, and also very academic sermon on the evils of capitalism, western hegemony, and other such terms. There is not an ounce of humor in any of this book.
