从《海娃的故事》到“乌贾马运动”——中国斯瓦西里文书刊的海外传播

From the Story of Haiwa to the Wujiama Movement:the Overseas Spread of Swahili Books(Chinese Version)

1964-1979年15年间,中国面向东非出版发行了斯瓦西里文期刊《中国画报》和包含毛泽东著作、政治理论、国情介绍、文学艺术图书、儿童读物等斯瓦西里文图书约230种。《中国画报》在东非的累计发行数量接近了100万份,图书在东非累计发行了3 981 004册,其中儿童读物的总发行册数是676 482册。这些中国出版的斯瓦西里文书刊在东非产生了巨大影响。它们影响了坦桑尼亚总统尼雷尔推行的"乌贾马运动"。《海娃的故事》、《小马过河》等中国连环画在当地少年儿童中家喻户晓,有的甚至成为课堂识字的启蒙教材。它提醒我们,今天的中国文化要走出去,应充分重视中国儿童读物的海外传播。
