Writing the postcolonial Nation: A study of three Zimbabwean
literary texts explores the interplay of history, postcolonial
theories and contemporary Zimbabwean literature with particular
reference to three literary works published in the post year 2000
period - Olley Maruma's Coming Home, Shimmer Chinodya's Chairman of
Fools and Chenjerai Hove's poems in Blind Moon. The Zimbabwean
cultural, economic and political spheres have been contentious and
prone to polarized and politicized representations. In a tumultuous
political context, the struggle for the control of minds takes
center- stage as the diametrically opposed major political parties
trade blame for the dystopian contemporary time-space. This book
invokes multifarious voices on the obtaining "Zimbabwean crisis" in
its critique of the social and political function of the
contemporary Zimbabwean literary narrative. The book studies the
various ways in which literary works complexly further debates on
the Zimbabwean crisis by way of representing some of the major
forces shaping the Zimbabwean situation and should therefore be
useful to students and critics of African literature.
