Reseña del libro "History and Violence in Contemporary Kenyan Fiction: Standpoints on Yvonne Owuor’S Writings (en Inglés)"
This book is a collection of essays on Yvonne Owuor's writings, mainly her most acclaimed novel, Dust as well as Dragonfly Sea and her short story "Weight of Whispers". While the chapters in this book grapple with diverse themes, they generally converge on Owuor's preoccupation with different forms of violence that has dominated Kenya's postcolonial experiences, especially those around the politics of power and the roles of regional, ethnic, and gender identities in influencing such politics. Many of the chapters in this book problematize the violence of genocide, trauma, and flight as they are variously and singularly underpinned by silences that signal the failure of adequate avenues for articulation of what impact such violence has on its victims. Other chapters focus on the style of Owuor's writing, thereby highlighting the many literary innovations that Owuor crafts in order to effectively carry the weight of her concerns.This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of Literature, Politics, History, and Sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Eastern African Literary and Cultural Studies.
