ISBN: 9783639321227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book analyses some selected Shona novels and how these depict the relations between Blacks and Whites in the Rhodesian settler colony. It shows that Blacks were largely ill-treated especially in the work places. The book also brings to the fore the skewed land policies that were in favour of the Whites, who got the best land while the Blacks were not only pushed to overcrowded reserves but also were confined to less fertile and hostile lands.

Historicity and the Shona Novel
ISBN: 9783639316452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Carried in each name are sentiments that reflect on...

Shona Names as Communication and Description
ISBN: 9783639336849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Onomastics is a field of sociolinguistics that is today being exploited by cultural geographers as well as historians and scholars and students of heritage studies. It is in the light of this that this research ventures to bring to the fore how naming practices among the Shona have been used to communicate and describe natural phenomena. It does this by analysing personal names, those of dogs and those of places. When used with regards to toponyms, the names bring out how people map out a place and how they relate to it. When used in naming people, the names successfully funtion as a summary...
