Cover illustration by Maggie Smith. Illustrated by Paula Cox. keywords: Literature Zimbabwe Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER-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.
