Description

This scholarly work examines how contemporary Zimbabwean authors deploy contested criminality as a literary device to critique social and political oppression across novels and short stories published in English between 1994 and 2016. The book provides critical analysis of influential writers including Yvonne Vera, Petina Gappah, NoViolet Bulawayo, Brian Chikwava, Christopher Mlalazi, Tendai Huchu and Virginia Phiri, exploring how their narratives engage with broader issues affecting the African continent and the global community. By studying these works through the lens of criminality and transgression, the author offers thoughtful interpretations of contemporary debates within African literature and cultural criticism, making it an essential resource for scholars, students and readers interested in postcolonial African fiction and literary theory.
