Beschreibung

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.
