Black and Female

by Tsitsi Dangarembga - £9.99  Faber & Faber (2022)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9780571373192 | ISBN 10: 0571373194

A short, staggering collection of essays from ‘one of the most remarkable people the Booker Prize has ever celebrated’ (New Statesman).
 
‘A woman’s defiant fight to write.‘ Observer
 
Being categorised as black and female does not constrain my writing.
Writing assures me that I am more the merely blackness and femaleness.
Writing assures me I am.
 
This paradigm shifting essay collection weaves the personal and political in an illuminating exploration of internationally acclaimed novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga’s complex relationship with race and gender. At once philosophical, intimate and urgent, Dangarmebga’s landmark essays address the profound cultural and political questions that underpin her novels for the first time. From her experience of life with a foster family in Dover and the difficulty of finding a publisher as a young Zimbabwean novelist, to the ways in which colonialism continues to disrupt the lives and minds of those subjugated by empire, Dangarembga writes to recenter marginalised voices.
 
Black and Female offers a powerful vision toward re-membering – to use Toni Morrison’s word – those whose identities and experiences continue to be fractured by the intersections of history, race and gender.
