• W2242300980 abstract "This thesis uses African-centred frameworks to critically analyse how selected black andwhite Zimbabwean-authored fictional narratives published between 2000 and 2010 againstthe backdrop of Zimbabweans’ post-2000 land redistribution processes depict and projectissues of land and identity in the post-independence phase. The process and phase thatprovides the background to both fictional narratives and its criticism in this study have beencanonised as jambanja across the racial divide. Jambanja and its aftermaths have generatedimmense controversy leading to a new wave of post-colonial literature that deals with land.Given the multipronged and interdisciplinary nature of land as a subject, including theperennial human and social problems that it has caused from pre- to post-independenceZimbabwe, the researcher took field visits to familiarise herself with geophysical andpopulation demography of Zimbabwe. Field visits and interviews with some writers and otherstakeholders added insights that desk-research alone might not have produced given that thewriters examined deal with land redistribution that is still unfolding. Analyses showed thatland re/possession and dis/placements, like slavery, are better appreciated from the vantagepoint of one’s existential location. Yet, this does not alter in any way its de/humanisingeffects. This explains why artists examined in this study focusing on land in post-2000Zimbabwe fall into two broad categories along race lines. Black-authored narratives supportland redistribution, citing social justice in view of colonial land dispossessions. Whiteauthorednarratives blame land redistribution for the deepening economic decline,mismanagement and polarisation characterising relations in the country and internationally.This reality itself is an indication that the land question remains a sensitive issue, which hasthe potential of tearing the nation apart if not handled with utmost care. Afrocentricapproaches used in the study of the fictional narratives strive for integration and promotion ofdialogue intra- and interracially, so that the Zimbabwean society may centralisehumwe/oneness/togetherness, peace and reciprocity guided by respect for human worth andhuman dignity in their dealings with land. Further, by using Afrocentric frameworks, thestudy’s analysis of fictional narratives’ trajectories of land-cum-identity strives towardsholism rather than piecemeal approaches that segment both the subjects and their society.Differential human worth, for whatever reason, locks the country in a cycle of violence. Thisunderscores the need for approaches that prioritise human dignity and human worth acrossthe racial divide. That the study subjects the selected fictional narratives across the racialdivide to dialogue on the contentious subject of land and identity in Zimbabwe’s post-2000period makes a major landmark in encouraging adoption of integrative approaches in thedevelopment of mainstream Zimbabwean Literature in English.
