    "This book scrutinizes fictional work from West, East and Southern African writers including Ayi Kwei Armah, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Nuruddin Farah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Michiel Heyns and J. M. Coetzee. The author contextualizes each writer's novels in their cultural and literary context in order to investigate similarities and differences between fictional approaches to individual complicity in politically unstable nations. The author focuses on works that eschew narrative structures through which a political order is offered as a clear enemy and distanced from the fictional characters, and instead represent social and political turmoil as a force that implicates individuals in one way or another, thus becoming capable of bringing notions of individual agency and responsibility into politically difficult situations. Through this framework, the book understands literary resistance movements as arising from and being embedded in their surrounding cultural contexts. Acknowledging the interplay between complicity and commitment enables new forms of shared cultural responsibility to emerge
