Mourning and Resilience in Indian Ocean Life Writing
Conclusion. Ecotonic Selves
Rhizomatic Perennials
We are the Delta
At first sight there appear to be three human participants in the Niger Delta struggle in Helon Habila’s novel Oil on Water. The soldiers sent by the federal government keep the oil business running; the armed rebels fight to protect the environment and for a say in the distribution of petrodollars; and the local villagers find themselves wedged in-between. This article claims that the fourth actor in the ecodrama is the brutalized landscape. Far…
Relations and Networks in South African Indian Writing
Writers of Indian origin seldom appear in the South African literary landscape, although the participation of Indian South Africans in the anti-apartheid struggle was anything but insignificant. The collective experiences of violence and the plea for reconciliation that punctuate the rhythms of post-apartheid South Africa delineate a national script in which ethnic, class, and gender affiliations coalesce and patterns of connectedness between div…
Narrative Empathy in Dr. Goonam’s Coolie Doctor and Zubeida Jaffer’s Our Generation

In this article I c…

Ugandan-born journalist, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has published two autobiographical works: No Place like Home (1995) and The Settler’s Cookbook: A Memoir of Love, Migration and Food (2008). The former is an account of her childhood and adolescence in Uganda up to the expulsion of the Asian community in 1972. The latter work is a highly unusual combination of autobiography combined with no less than 113 recipes, each of which highlights a specific pe…
Ecocriticism on the Edge. The Anthropocene as a Threshold Concept

Lindsey Collen
Impossible Burdens
The stereotype of the East African Asian as a willing accomplice in the British imperial project has invariably invoked a male subject; little has been written about the wives and daughters of the dukawallahs . At present, the specificities of the East African Asian woman are gradually coming under scholarly scrutiny, revealing the inward struggles and social challenges these women faced. This article focuses on the memoirs of three women writers…
