Produktbeschreibung
This book is a critical analysis of Chenjerai Hove's selected works in prose and poetry within the framework of Historical criticism. It is evident that a writer cannot and should not ignore critical historical events of his day. Inevitably, as a mortal being, Chenjerai Hove's treatment of colonialism, independence, governance and gender issues shows that a writer cannot escape the trappings of subjectivity. From Bones (1988) to Blind Moon (2003), among others, Chenjerai Hove's treatment of history betrays certain ideological positions. This book is a balanced, worthwhile and invaluable contribution to the limited repertoire of critical voices on Zimbabwean literature in English.
