BLACK AND FEMALE

This essay collection by acclaimed novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga weaves together the personal and political in an illuminating exploration of her complex relationship with race and gender. From life with a foster family in Dover and the difficulty of finding a publisher as a young Zimbabwean novelist, to the ways in which colonialism continues to disrupt the lives and minds of those subjugated by empire, Dangarembga writes to recentre marginalised voices and re-member those who continue to be fractured by history, race and gender.
