| The book focuses on contemporary literatures of Southern Africa and brings together the work of scholars who cover questions about the constructions of Othering, about locked-away-narratives or narratives about the female "teras" or the twisted "reality" of the construction of the family, the nation, or history. The contributors reflect on issues such as the diverse modes of portraying HIV/AIDS in literatures of South Africa and Zimbabwe; they examine the socio-(homo)sexual experiences of Black Men in South Africa; they trace the traumatic transitions in Namibia from the war to its aftermath, read through the prism of gender; they propose homoerotic readings of Black women's desires; and they demonstrate how 'speaking' textiles function as a recurrent image for the contradictions inherent in the postcolonial voice and how they offer new structures to tackle silence. The essays demonstrate that the end of unheard narratives, as the title of this book reads, holds a double-sided implication. Contributors: Lizzy Attree, Katrin Berndt, Dorothy Driver, Bevelyn Dube, Jessica Hemmings, Robert Muponde, Agnes Muriungi, Tom Odhiambo, Margie Orford, Charles Pfukwa, Meg Samuelson, Annemarié van Niekerk and Bettina Weiss. | |
