Lee); Cosmopolitanism and social change in a Zambian thriller (Ranka Primorac on Grieve Sibale's 'Murder in the forest', 1998); A survey of the themes and techniques in Keamogetsi Joseph Molapong's poetry (Mbongeni Malaba); 'The body is his, pulse and motion': violence and desire in Yvonne Vera's 'The stone virgins' (Sofia Kostelac); Black women walking Zimbabwe: refuge and prospect in the landscapes of Yvonne Vera's 'The stone virgins' and Tsitsi Dangarembga's 'Nervous conditions' and its sequel, 'The book of not' (Lily G.N.
