“@PanasheChig @komusana @Writivism @asiimwe4justice @RosebellK @kinnareads It was such an honor hearing you talk about your book and the motivations behind the words. Very deep thoughts there and so many topics covered. Best of luck with the rest of the book tour. The book is on my reading list for the following month.” (from X)

Panashe Chigumadzi(you?)
What are the right questions to ask when seeking out the spirit of a nation? In November, 2017, the people of Zimbabwe took to the streets in an unprecedented alliance with the military. Their goal, to restore the legacy of Chimurenga, the liberation struggle, and wrest their country back from more than 30 years of Robert Mugabe’s rule. In an essay that combines bold reportage, memoir, and critical analysis, Zimbabwean novelist and journalist Panashe Chigumadzi reflects on the "coup that was not a coup," the telling of history and manipulation of time and the ancestral spirts of two women—her own grandmother and Mbuya Nehanda, the grandmother of the nation.
