- History / Biographical
- Founder and director of the Tribune Juive and La Parole métèque publications, Ghila Sroka passed away in Montreal on September 26th, 2014 at the age of 64. Born in Morocco, she settled in Montreal in 1981, where she studied Comparative Literature at Université de Montréal. A journalist, editor, author, host, and avant-garde interculturalist, she defined herself as a "francophone by choice, a Jewish atheist, a leftist intellectual and polemicist, and a feminist". In 2008, magazine Châtelaine Canada named her among the 20 most impressive women on the planet Among the many influential publications put out by Les éditions de la parole métèque, are Femmes haïtiennes, paroles de négresses (1995) and Conversations avec Dany Laferrière (2010). In Tribune juive, she published interviews with a number of Haitian authors, including Gérard Étienne, Joël Des Rosiers, and René Depestre, and featured a number of fascinating profiles of topics like Léopold Sédar Senghor, and more generally, African or North African culture.Source: http://moishistoiredesnoirs.com/en/tribute-to-those-weve-lost/ghila-sroka-2/ by Maguy Métellus
