    Abdulrazak Gurnah -- Viet Thanh Nguyen -- Luis Alberto Urrea -- Comparative analysis. This book builds on existing scholarship by leading theorists to offer an in-depth examination of an intriguing selection of writers. It explores how works by Abdulrazak Gurnah, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Luis Alberto Urrea represent a recalibration of how stories about marginalised migrants in the US and the UK are told - stories about their rights, their suffering, and their relationships to the citizens around them that reject victimhood and embrace just memories. The selected works reject and counter descriptions of the marginalised that are framed in terms of victimhood and passivity. As an alternative, they emphasise the need for just memories and narratives that not only accept personal agency, but also afford their characters opportunities to exercise power and control over their own lives and destinies, no matter how limited these may be

Moving Beyond Crisis in Tendai Huchu's The Maestro, the Magistrate, and the Mathematician (2015) -- Conclusion. "This monograph explores the concept of mobility in Zimbabwean works of fiction published in English between the introduction of the controversial Fast Track Land Reform Programme and the end of the Mugabe era. Since 2000, Zimbabwe has experienced unprecedented levels of transnational out-migration in response to the political conflicts and economic downturn often referred to as the Zimbabwe Crisis. This in turn has led to an increased outpouring of literary texts about migration, both in locally produced texts and in works by authors based in the diaspora. Situating Zimbabwe's recent literary developments in a wider context of Southern African writing and history, this book focuses on texts which portray movement within Zimbabwe's cities, between village and city, to South Africa, and overseas. The author examines important developments and trends in recent Zimbabwean literature, investigating the link between state authoritarianism and control of mobility, and literature's potential to intervene into dominant political discourses. The book includes in-depth analyses of ten recent works of fiction published in the post-2000 era and develops mobility as a key category of literary analysis of Zimbabwe's contemporary literatures. Setting out a rich dialogue between literary criticism and mobility studies, this book will be of interest to researchers of African Literature, Southern Africa, migration and mobility"--

    ‘A remarkable work, both for its compassion and critical insights, Chielozona Eze’s Ethics and Human Rights in Anglophone African Women’s Literature: Feminist Empathy ‘liberates’ empathy from ideology and offers a focused way of reading literature within and across borders that also transcends limiting contexts.’ -Maik Nwosu, University of Denver, USA ‘In a thus far unsurpassed “sharing of affect,” Professor Eze artfully deploys what he calls “feminist empathy” for third-generation Anglophone African women writers. In the wake of their foremothers’ rejection of the double yoke of colonialism and patriarchy, this millennial generation of women writers reclaims “a body of their own” and its unaccountable pain. Eze’s bold yet gentle gesturing towards these new female subjectivities makes him a male feminist, definitely a rare commodity on the Nigerian scene. His book is a high risk/high gain venture opening wide the portal of “human flourishing” for other African empathizers in the post-nation-state.’ -Chantal Zabus, author of Between Rites and Rights: Excision in Women’s Experiential Texts and Human Contexts, Université Paris 13 - Sorbonne Paris Cité, France ‘Eze deftly demonstrates how contemporary African writing by women deploys feminist empathy to link ethics and human rights in a fresh interpretation of ubuntu - the African philosophy of individual and community interdependence. With nuance and a rare attention to not only fiction but also poetry, essays and new media, Eze shows how recent works extending longstanding African feminist theories into new territory, proving Adichie and her sister-authors right: we should all be feminists.’ -Tsitsi Jaji, author of Africa in Stereo: Modernism, Music and Pan-African Solidarity and Associate Professor of English, Duke University, USA This book proposes feminist empathy as a model of interpretation in the works of contemporary Anglophone African women writers. The African woman’s body is often portrayed as having been disabled by the patriarchal and sexist structures of society. Returning to their bodies as a point of reference, rather than the postcolonial ideology of empire, contemporary African women writers demand fairness and equality. By showing how this literature deploys imaginative shifts in perspective with women experiencing unfairness, injustice, or oppression because of their gender, Chielozona Eze argues that by considering feminist empathy, discussion ...

Moving Beyond Crisis in Tendai Huchu's The Maestro, the Magistrate, and the Mathematician (2015) -- Conclusion. "This monograph explores the concept of mobility in Zimbabwean works of fiction published in English between the introduction of the controversial Fast Track Land Reform Programme and the end of the Mugabe era. Since 2000, Zimbabwe has experienced unprecedented levels of transnational out-migration in response to the political conflicts and economic downturn often referred to as the Zimbabwe Crisis. This in turn has led to an increased outpouring of literary texts about migration, both in locally produced texts and in works by authors based in the diaspora. Situating Zimbabwe's recent literary developments in a wider context of Southern African writing and history, this book focuses on texts which portray movement within Zimbabwe's cities, between village and city, to South Africa, and overseas. The author examines important developments and trends in recent Zimbabwean literature, investigating the link between state authoritarianism and control of mobility, and literature's potential to intervene into dominant political discourses. The book includes in-depth analyses of ten recent works of fiction published in the post-2000 era and develops mobility as a key category of literary analysis of Zimbabwe's contemporary literatures. Setting out a rich dialogue between literary criticism and mobility studies, this book will be of interest to researchers of African Literature, Southern Africa, migration and mobility"--

"Islam in the Eastern African Novel engages the novels of three important eastern African novelists--Nuruddin Farah, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and M.G. Vassanji--by centering Islam as an interpretive lens and critical framework. Mirmotahari argues that recognizing the centrality of Islam in the fictional works of these three novelists has important consequences for the theoretical and conceptual conversations that characterize the study of African literature. The overdue and sustained attention to Islam in these works complicates the narrative of coloniality, the nature of the nation and the nation-state, the experience of diaspora and exile, the meaning of indigenaity, and even the form and history of the novel itself"--

    Abdulrazak Gurnah -- Viet Thanh Nguyen -- Luis Alberto Urrea -- Comparative analysis. This book builds on existing scholarship by leading theorists to offer an in-depth examination of an intriguing selection of writers. It explores how works by Abdulrazak Gurnah, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Luis Alberto Urrea represent a recalibration of how stories about marginalised migrants in the US and the UK are told - stories about their rights, their suffering, and their relationships to the citizens around them that reject victimhood and embrace just memories. The selected works reject and counter descriptions of the marginalised that are framed in terms of victimhood and passivity. As an alternative, they emphasise the need for just memories and narratives that not only accept personal agency, but also afford their characters opportunities to exercise power and control over their own lives and destinies, no matter how limited these may be

    "The book makes four interventions: (1) it extends the domain of African literary studies from one primarily focused on humans to one that explores the complexities of human-nonhuman relations in the different sites under consideration; (2) it rethinks the dominant notion of agency based on intentionality and proposes ways of conceiving distributed agency or varieties of agency functioning between human beings and other environmental actors; (3) it broadens our perspective on violent resistance and its complicity in ecological degradation, thus reopening the question of violence that earlier marked the struggle for liberation by such figures as Frantz Fanon; and (4) it contributes to the larger project of envisioning alternative, sustainable ecosystems."--Publisher's summary

    "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"--
