Eliot, Caryl Churchill, and Wole Soyinka -- Mayibuye iAfrika: reconstituting African nationalism in the new transnational south. Embodying Black ways of being in the world in the spatialized historiography of postApartheid literature -- Shades of feminist nationalism in recent Zimbabwean and South African fiction
