Paperback. Condizione: New. This book is a collection of essays on Yvonne Owuor's writings, mainly her most acclaimed novel, Dust as well as Dragonfly Sea and her short story "Weight of Whispers". While the chapters in this book grapple with diverse themes, they generally converge on Owuor's preoccupation with different forms of violence that has dominated Kenya's postcolonial experiences, especially those around the politics of power and the roles of regional, ethnic, and gender identities in influencing such politics. Many of the chapters in this book problematize the violence of genocide, trauma, and flight as they are variously and singularly underpinned by silences that signal the failure of adequate avenues for articulation of what impact such violence has on its victims. Other chapters focus on the style of Owuor's writing, thereby highlighting the many literary innovations that Owuor crafts in order to effectively carry the weight of her concerns.This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of Literature, Politics, History, and Sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Eastern African Literary and Cultural Studies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book interrogates the way two leading East African Asian writers imagine homes and community within the trajectory of post-colonial and cultural studies. Focusing on Moyez Vassanji and Yusuf Dawood, it argues for particularity as an important point in understanding the uniqueness of South Asian immigrants in East Africa. Contrary to the general association of immigrancy with marginality, this book suggests a fluidity that occasionally allows immigrant communities to dominate some aspects of life of their countries of settlement, exemplified by the economic dominance that East African Asians enjoy. Their touch with histories of the region, contemporary geopolitics and the thinning of boundaries have all allowed East African Asians occasion to formulate multiple consciousness in the construction of their identities. Key aspects that concern the author include the construction of Characters, the idea of journeys and baggage, as well as the quest for homes and homeliness by immigrant communities in the context of dynamic politics of nation-formation. Ultimately, the author sees works of Vassanji and Dawood as significantly enriching our understanding of the Indian Ocean Worlds.…
