| dc.description.abstract | The Uncertainty of Hope (2006) by Valerie Tagwira is a novel that offers profound insights into the condition of Zimbabweans during a time of crisis. Muchemwa (2013:128) argues that “Tagwira‘s novel is often read in one of two ways: either as an HIV/AIDS novel focusing on the infection risks faced by women in a patriarchal culture that encourages men to have unsafe sex with multiple partners or as a Murambatsvina novel that opens a unique fictional window onto the massive displacement of people by a black postcolonial government”. The relatively few scholars that have opined on the novel have applied an HIV/AIDS reading. | en_ZA |
