The theme of protest in the post-independence Shona novelMazuruse, Mickson 20 January 2011 (has links)
The study discusses selected Shona novels‟ depiction of the theme of protest in the post-independence era in Zimbabwe. The ideas that these novels generate on protest are examined in the context of socio-political and socio-cultural issues in post-independent Zimbabwe. The study is an investigation of the extent to which protest literature is indispensable in the struggle of African people to liberate themselves from imperialist servitude. Novels on socio-political protest show how the government has failed to deliver on most of its promises because of neocolonialism and corruption. Novels on socio-cultural protest show how cultural innovations in post-independence Zimbabwe brought problems .The study comes to the conclusion that for literature to be reliable and useful to society it is not enough to highlight weaknesses in criticizing, but it should go beyond that and offer constructive and corrective criticism. This shows that protest literature is a vital tool for social transformation in Zimbabwe. / African languages / M.A. (African languages)

The theme of protest and its expression in S. F. Motlhake's poetryTsambo, T. L. (Theriso Louisa) 06 1900 (has links)
In the Apartheid South Africa, repression and the heightening of the Blacks' struggle
for political emancipation, prompted artists to challenge the system through their
music, oral poetry and writing. Most produced works of protest in English to reach a
wider audience. This led to the general misconception that literatures in the
indigenous languages of South Africa were insensitive to the issues of those times.
This study seeks firstly to put to rest such misconception by proving that there is
Commitment in these literatures as exemplified in the poetry of S.F. Motlhake.
Motlhake not only expresses protest against the political system of the time, but also
questions some religious and socio-cultural practices and institutions among his
people. The study also examines his selected works as genuine poetry, which does not
sacrifice art on the altar of propaganda. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
