Doris Lessing and Yvonne Vera are among the writers whose work concentrates on disorientation, marginalization and homelessness in a colonized country. The two authors represent two worlds of Zimbabwe: Doris Lessing feels uneasy with her membership in the class of colonizers, but she nevertheless represents the privileged, Yvonne Vera fully identifies with the oppressed, was personally shaped by colonialism. This study focuses on Vera's internal and Lessing's external perspectives of Zimbabwean history and culture, on the impact that colonialism has on a writer from the colonized community vs. on a writer from the colonizer's community.

This book is designed as a tribute and response to Yvonne Vera's famous novel 'Butterfly Burning', which is set in the Bulawayo townships in 1946 and dedicated to the author. It is an attempt to explore what historical research and reconstruction can add to the literary imagination. Responding as it does to a novel, this history imitates some fictional modes. Two of its chapters are in effect 'scenes', dealing with brief periods of intense activity. Others are in effect biographies of 'characters'. The book draws upon and quotes from a rich body of urban oral memory. In addition to this historical/literary interaction the book is a contribution to the historiography of southern African cities, bringing out the experiential and cultural dimensions, and combining black and white urban social history. TERENCE RANGER is Emeritus Rhodes Professor of Race Relations, University of Oxford. Zimbabwe: Weaver Press.
