Trends in Malawian Literature
Author: Francis P. B. Moto
Publisher: Chancellor College Pub
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
"Trends in Malawian Literature's departure point is a brief examination of how Malawi's post-independence politics affected Malawi literary landscape and an assessment of the early missionaries contribution to early Malawian literature in the local languages. That done, it discusses messages in the early literature. The conclusion drawn is that the early literature in Malawi, like most African countries, was a potent mouth piece for Christian doctrine and western values. Against this background, Trends in Malawian Literature assesses the concerns of later writers, who although begin to move from the good versus evil dichotomy, still emphasize that socially and culturally one is either an (sic) initially and turns to be good later or vice versa".--Back cover.

An Elegy for Easterly
Author: Petina Gappah
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429920270
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
A woman in a township in Zimbabwe is surrounded by throngs of dusty children but longs for a baby of her own; an old man finds that his new job making coffins at No Matter Funeral Parlor brings unexpected riches; a politician's widow stands quietly by at her husband's funeral, watching his colleagues bury an empty casket. Petina Gappah's characters may have ordinary hopes and dreams, but they are living in a world where a loaf of bread costs half a million dollars, where wives can't trust even their husbands for fear of AIDS, and where people know exactly what will be printed in the one and only daily newspaper because the news is always, always good. In her spirited debut collection, the Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah brings us the resilience and inventiveness of the people who struggle to live under Robert Mugabe's regime. She takes us across the city of Harare, from the townships beset by power cuts to the manicured lawns of privilege and corruption, where wealthy husbands keep their first wives in the "big houses" while their unofficial second wives wait in the "small houses," hoping for a promotion. Despite their circumstances, the characters in An Elegy for Easterly are more than victims—they are all too human, with as much capacity to inflict pain as to endure it. They struggle with the larger issues common to all people everywhere: failed promises, unfulfilled dreams, and the yearning for something to anchor them to life.
