Chaka
Author: Thomas MofoloPublisher: Waveland Press
ISBN: 1478609729
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Chaka is a genuine masterpiece that represents one of the earliest major contributions of black Africa to the corpus of modern world literature. Mofolos fictionalized life-story account of Chaka (Shaka), translated from Sesotho by D. P. Kunene, begins with the future Zulu kings birth followed by the unwarranted taunts and abuse he receives during childhood and adolescence. The author manipulates events leading to Chakas status of great Zulu warrior, conqueror, and king to emphasize classic tragedys psychological themes of ambition and power, cruelty, and ultimate ruin. Mofolos clever nods to the supernatural add symbolic value. Kunenes fine translation renders the dramatic and tragic tensions in Mofolos tale palpable as the richness of the authors own culture is revealed. A substantial introduction by the translator provides valuable context for modern readers.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Drawing on firsthand experience, distinguished South African writer Lauretta Ngcobo depicts the lives of rural women in South Africa, paying homage to the extraordinary courage and remarkable endurance of these unsung heroines of the struggle against apartheid. Set in the barren Sabelweini Valley in the 1950s to 1980s, the novel centers around one young woman, Jezile, whose political consciousness deepens as state laws threaten her earnings and her land. Arrested along with hundreds of others and sentenced to six months hard labor in prison, Jezile returns home to find her child dying of starvation. When her husband is arrested for stealing milk to save the child, Jezile must fight to ensure her family’s survival.
To Kill a Man's Pride
Author: Marcus RamogalePublisher: Ravan Pressof South Africa
ISBN: 9780869754603
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
The second edition of To Kill a Man's Pride builds on the success of the previous edition of this anthology of South African short stories by retaining most of stories, but also featuring more women writers and new male voice, to make it more representative. The milieu remains unambiguously South African, with some stories set in rural areas such as the village, farm or dorp, and others in urban centers such as the big city, suburb or township. The varied perspective of the writers are broadly united by a focus on "pride" and its negation "humiliation" in the sharp struggle for life. All stories deal with challenge, and in each we find characters involved in a struggle to prevail over difficulty. Both the topical unity of the stories and the new and longer introduction by Marcus Ramogale, which is geared towards use by senior high school pupils and tertiary student, allow for sharply defined learning activities in the area of short story criticism.
