Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Throughout southern Africa, shebeens are where jokes are born, news is embellished and exchanged, fights erupt and subside. They are unique vantage points where men go after a day's work, both to escape from the troubled world around them and to observe and comment on it.In Shebeen Tales, Zimbabwe's leading author offers a view of his country not from the privileged and insulated perspective of the foreign correspondent or well-heeled visitor, but that of the ordinary person who, with the help of dry wit and illegal beer, pokes fun at the rich and mighty. Struggling against madcap motorists, pompous bureacrats and the other woes of life in the city, the man in the shebeen sees modern Africa as it really is, not as press releases or tourist brochures would have us believe.Chenjerai Hove looks straight in the eye of a society suffering from drought, economic hardship and AIDS, but does not succumb to despair. With a wry sense of humour, his writer's pen celebrates a people who continue to live life to the full, to laugh and sing, to tell tall tales - whatever is thrown at them. In new pieces written for this edition, he discusses the vexed issue of homosexuality in Zimbabwe and also casts an amused eye at President Mugabe's recent wedding.Shebeen Tales is a series of literary snapshots that takes us into the very heart of modern Africa. Throughout southern Africa, shebeens are where jokes are born, news is embellished and exchanged, fights erupt and subside. They are unique vantage points where men go after a day's work, both to escape from the troubled world around them and to observe and comment on it.

Cover design by Keith Pointing. Cover illustration by Maggie Smith. Illustrated by Paula Cox. keywords: Africa Zimbabwe Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - WINNER OF THE 1989 NOMA AWARD. First published in Zimbabwe, where it received wide praise, Bones is a confident and convincing extended prose poem. In this novel, Chenjerai Hove has successfully engaged language which is marvellously rich in Shona idiom to give Zimbabwean peasants a voice, a means of conveying their struggle for liberation in an essentially white man's world. The psychological and physical struggle of Marita, a farm labourer on a white commercial farm, is a powerful central thread within a complex but accessible poetic tapestry. Memories of those who knew this influential woman throw up images of the determination she had to bring her son safely back from the freedom fighters and liberation war, and of how she stood strong against oppression whilst others tended towards subservience. Marita's story powerfully illustrates how attitudinal change is a vital ingredient in the fight for freedom. Janita, Marita's disciple and her son's lover, reiterates this strength, keeping the fighting spirit against the oppressors alive. 'His village is the world and its simple and unsophisticated peasants are actors who portray our roles under oppression today.' inventory #44696. …
