Uganda has successfully presented itself to the international community as a responsible, progressive site for aid and development for nearly three decades now. In 1986 the country emerged from an 8-year civil war, following a 7-year dictatorship, following 70 years of exploitative colonial rule. It was the epicentre of the AIDS pandemic, though you wouldnt guess that from the outrageous promiscuity of its urban dwellers. The rich, pungent variety of images in this book will elicit a range of reactions: pity, disgust, uncertainty, titillation natural responses to such beautiful horrors. The stories told by these grimy vignettes are at once a cartoon strip and an archive of the ephemeral, an African symphony and a third-world catastrophe, a naughty grope and a guilty giggle.This is the noir: the fallen angels of debauchery and desperation. This is the future: brazen young things with money to burn all poolside parties and bleach-blonde hair. This is the past: askaris with arrows, women with burdens, military junta in open jeeps. This is contradiction: a city of Puritan alcoholics, prostitutes giving love for free, perverted aid workers, developing that arse. This is a disgrace: a security guard on $1/day, a corrupt ruling class passing laws on morality, a white man whos pissed his pants.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Heuschrecken, in Uganda «nsenene» genannt, sind dort ein Leckerbissen und eine wichtige Einkommensquelle. Zweimal jährlich wandern sie in Massen unmittelbar nach der Regenzeit. Riesige Schwärme überfluten kurz vor Sonnenaufgang den Himmel. Nacht für Nacht halten sich grosse Teile der Bevölkerung bis zum Morgengrauen wach, um Heuschrecken zu fangen und diese zu verkaufen. Die Allgegenwart der Heuschrecken und ihr grünlicher, sich im nächtlichen Dunst und im Rauch der Leuchtfeuer verlierender Schimmer tauchen das ganze Land in eine entrückte Atmosphäre, zu der auch die Skurrilität der listenreichen Jagd und selbst gebastelten Gerätschaften beiträgt. Augenblicke hektischen Treibens und lange Wartephasen, in denen man sich ein wenig ausruht oder die Zeit vertreibt, wechseln einander ab. Ihr hoher Eiweissgehalt macht die Tiere zu einer vielversprechenden Nahrungsquelle für die Zukunft. So erklärte die Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation der Vereinten Nationen (FAO), dass essbare Insekten auf dem Speiseplan von mehr Menschen den Hunger verringern und dieErnährungssicherheit in der Welt verbessern könnten. Andererseits haben die Entwaldungen der vergangenen Jahre zu einem drastischen Rückgang der Zahl und Artenvielfalt von Wanderinsekten geführt. Zudem macht der Klimawandel die Regenzeiten in Afrika immer weniger vorhersehbar, kommt beim Aufstellen der Fallen doch alles auf den richtigen Zeitpunkt an. Die Jagd nach Heuschrecken spielt sich auf einem sehr schmalen Grat zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft, Tradition und Modernisierung ab, den der italienische Fotograf Michele Sibiloni in seiner atmosphärisch dichten Bildsprache einfängt. In Form unmittelbarer Porträts und kinematografischer Sequenzen erzählen sie nicht nur über das Selbstverständnis der Ugander, sondern auch über die Zukunftsperspektiven auf dem Planeten insgesamt.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Nsenene are a delicacy and an important source of income in Uganda. Technically bush crickets but generally referred to as "grasshoppers", nsenene migrate en masse twice a year, right after the two rainy seasons. Huge swarms fill the sky shortly before sunrise. So, night after night during cricket season, many Ugandans stay up till dawn to catch the critters. The omnipresence of the lustrous greenish insects amid the nocturnal mist and the smoke of bonfires submerges the whole country in an otherworldly atmosphere, an eerie effect compounded by all the bizarre paraphernalia involved, especially the fancifully contrived tools and traps. Flurries of hectic activity alternate with long periods of waiting around and killing time. Given their high protein content, they remain a promising source of food for the future, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which points out that if more people were to add edible insects to their diet, that could reduce world hunger and improve food security. However, deforestation has decimated migratory insect populations in recent years and some cricket species are now critically endangered. To make matters worse, the rains in Africa are becoming less and less predictable due to climate change, and cricket-harvesting depends entirely on timing. Italian photographer Michele Sibiloni has captured the Ugandan cricket-harvest, an activity that straddles the very fine line between past and future, tradition and modernization, in his highly atmospheric visual idiom. His immediate cinematographic sequences speak volumes not only about the Ugandan situation, but also about the future prospects for our planet as a whole.…
