Mungoshi and Marechera featured in CRC's Perceptions Discussion Group
For the 2008-2009 academic year, Cosumnes River College's Perceptions group is featuring Africa in its monthly discussions. In the kick-off discussion event I will lead a discussion of Charles Mungoshi and Dambudzo Marechera's works. See the information below:
"On Tuesday, October 21 from 2:00-3:30pm in SOCCR Emmanuel Sigauke will be leading a discussion on two of some of the most important literary figures in 20th century African society: Charles Mungoshi and Dambudzo Marechera. The title of the event is “Post-Colonial Literature: Reading Charles Mungoshi and Dambudzo Marechera.”
Perceptions is a community of scholars at CRC who meet once a month to discuss select readings on various regions of the world. In the 2008-2009 academic year, which marks the group's 5th year of pursuing global awareness, Perceptions attendees will attempt a greater understanding of the people and politics of sub-Saharan Africa. All students and staff are welcome."
Note: The landmark short story "Coming of the Dry Season" will be discussed alongside excerpts from The Black Insider. To give the group a perspective of the progression of Zimbabwean literature beyond Mungoshi and Marechera, I will refer to "Somewhere" by Memory Chirere and "Playing with Life" by Christopher Mlalazi. And this is just the beginning of an enriching discussion series that will illuminate participants on the literature of the African continent.
