Literature
The two communities that make up Zimbabwe have given different literary productions. The white population has a fairly recent literature, which, until 1965, was oriented towards Great Britain and, due to its colonial mentality and lack of national sentiment, belongs more to English literature. Two prominent personalities stand out for a more equitable attitude towards local populations: the missionary AS Cripps (1869-1952), who in stories, novellas, studies and verses took the defense of the Shona tribes and described life and the landscape Africans in their reality, and the narrator D. Lessing (1919), who in the novel The Grass Is Singing (1949; Canta l’erba) and in various short stories he dealt with the racial and social problems of his land. As for African literature, there is a very ancient oral heritage of narrative works in prose or verse intended for singing and of encomiastic poems. With colonization and schooling, works written in Shona and Ndebele appeared. Starting from the historical novel Feso (1956) by SM Mutswairo (1924-2005), moralizing novels and short stories appear, whose main themes are the contrast between two cultures, the condemnation of city life and the idyllic exaltation of village life (P. Chidyausiku, 1927; D. Ndola, 1925; JW Marangwanda, 1923) and again the themes of love and marriage (KS Bepswa, 1927; P. Chidyausiku), critique of witchcraft and animist religion (XS Marimazhira and EM Ndlovu) or analysis of the value of traditional beliefs (EF Ribeiro, 1935; SM Mutswairo and PS Mahlangu). Among the best known narrators, in the Shona language, we still mention P. Chakaipa, LW Chaparadza, B. Chidewere, BIG Chidezero and, in the Ndebele language, IN Mpofu, A. Mzilethi, L. Ndondo and NS Sigogo. In the field of opera, Tale without a head, 1958). In the 1970s and 1980s, fiction is abundant but of little relevance. More lively the poetic production that is inspired by European models, sings individual feelings and exalts the liberation struggle. The major playwright is P. Chidyausiku. Zimbabwean literature in the English language begins in the 1950s. There are three writers engaged in the political struggle, who have contributed powerfully with their writings to the awakening of African nationalism: N. Sithole (1920), with the famous African Nationalism (1959-68), S. Samkange (1922), author of the historical novel On Trial for My Country (1966) and Origins of Rhodesia (1969), and N. Shamuyarira, author of Crisis in Rhodesia (1965). After independence, literature focused its efforts on building a new society; an important English-language author of this period is S. Chinodya (b. 1957), with the epic novel Harvest of Thorns (1990). Chenjerai Hove (b.1956), poet and novelist, in his works Up in Arms (1982), Red Hills of Home (1985), Rainbows in the Dust (1998) and Blind Moon (2003), tells the personal journey of his ideas from the repression of the colonial period, through the scrupulous observation of the effects of the liberation war on rural communities, to the disillusionment and bitterness of the failure of the promises of the new government.
