Editorial Reviews
Review
“[t]horoughly survey the history, culture, and people of each country.”–MultiCultural Review
“[u]seful to students who want to put the works of Zimbabwean writers like Shimmer Chinodya, Tsitsi Dangaremba, and Chenjerai Hove into the proper social and cultural contexts. Owomoyela does an excellent job of showing how Zimbabwean writers use their characters to explore the frictions that arise when "tradition" simply cannot go on any longer. He is particularly adept at choosing examples that capture the tensions that stretch between genders and across generations.”–International Journal of African Historical Studies
“This reference is another that may be equally appropriate on the non-fiction shelves. If you have very little on this country, this will be a welcomed addition.”–Reference for Students
Product Description
Zimbabwe, formerly known as Rhodesia, won its independence from Great Britain in 1980 yet continues to feel the impact of Western lifestyles and prejudices. This rich, accessible overview freshly examines Zimbabwe, evoking the contemporary ways of life in a largely homogenous and agricultural country.
