At a turbulent historical moment, Versions of Zimbabwe: new approaches to literature and culture considers the relationships between Zimbabwe's creative literature, history and politics. It assumes that literature and culture cannot be understood separately from larger social trends; and that besides being legitimate subjects of study in themselves, through foregrounding literary and cultural issues, insights into the present crisis inflicting the country can be achieved. The book is the result of a collaboration of scholars from southern Africa and overseas, whose work emphasises hitherto overshadowed subjects of literature, exposing new and untried approaches to Zimbabwean writing.
