ISBN: 1779223285
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313

Book Description
The 1990 Commonwealth Writers Regional Prize voted Harvest of Thorns the winner in the Best Book category. Harvest of Thorns tells the story of Benjamin Tichafa who grows up in Rhodesia in the 1960s. From a conservative, religious family, but exposed to the heady ideas of the black nationalist movements, the young student is pulled in different directions. Isolated and troubled at boarding school, he is provoked into leaving, making his way to Mozambique, and joining the freedom fighters. There, in the crucible of a bitter civil war of liberation, the young man develops into manhood. Returning, hardened, at independence, he feels that little has changed, not least within his own family circumstances, and asks himself what it means to be free in the new Zimbabwe.

Dew in the Morning

Dew in the Morning PDF Author: Shimmer Chinodya
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 1779223528
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 218

Book Description
Dew in the Morning was written when the author, Shimmer Chinodya, was eighteen. The intensity of childhood memory is sharp and immediate. Godi, the young boy whose life we experience as he grows up, perceives more than he understands. The ambivalence or instability of the text lies at the juncture between the felt experience of the child, and the rational, interpretative, analysis of the adult. A Bildungsroman, Chinodya captures the centrality of land in the national consciousness: its beauty, its rhythms, its seasons and its fertility. But he does not romanticise the hardships: the droughts, poor harvests, over-crowding particularly as a result of the inflow of resettled people and the tensions over land and between peoples as they struggle to survive. Good humour, strict morality, hard work, and mutual support can be undermined by corrupt practice, or tainted by traditional ceremonies that are as frightening as they are powerful, and raise essential questions of belief and validity. Dew in the Morning, is a tender, evocative novel of growing up, but in it we see the seeds of many issues which Chinodya will dwell on in his later novels: familial tensions, the taut interplay of tradition and modernity, ancestral beliefs and Christianity.

Book Description
"...OF GREAT VALUE FOR ANYONE WISHING TO UNDERSTAND CURRENT ZIMBABWEAN REALITY."--AFRICA TODAY. An overview of Zimbabwe's principle literary figures, this study examines the ways in which the prevailing social setting & each writer's personal background determined the characteristics of their literature. Equal attention is devoted to the earlier school of black writers as well as those who gained prominence after independence, such as Chenjerai Hove (1990 Noma Award winner), Shimmer Choyda (1990 Commonwealth Writers Prize winner), & the female author Tsitsi Dangarembga.
