Lobengula in 19th century Southern Africa was tricked into a drunken stupor to "sign" away lands to colonialists

and his indignation

EMERGING PERSPECTIVES ON DAMBUDZO MARECHERA Women's Interest and Robert FosterThis is a stunning collection of Marechera's last writings, evoking city life with its many disparate facets from the glittering fashion shops in First Street Mall to the tramps in the alleys, and in Marechera's only known piece in Shona, "The Servants' Ball." What at first sight seems peaceful and harmless, is suddenly disrupted by flashes of madness for, in Marechera's universe, everyday life is always haunted by the nightmares of Zimbabwe's past.
