Description

---

This book discusses how Dambudzo Marechera rethinks utopia as an ongoing event that contests institutionalized narratives of the postcolonial self and its relationship to society. Marechera destabilizes the narrative constitution of the self in relation to society to turn towards a radical utopian thinking that empowers the individual.
