  Black and Female - Essays

  The first wound for all of us who are classified as "black" is empire. 
   
   
   
  In Black and Female, Tsitsi Dangarembga examines the legacy of imperialism on her own life and on every aspect of black embodied African life. This paradigm-shifting essay collection weaves the personal and political in an illuminating exploration of race and gender. Dangarembga recounts a painful separation from her parents as a toddler, connecting this experience to the ruptures caused in Africa by human trafficking and enslavement. She argues that, after independence, the ruling party in Zimbabwe only performed inclusion for women while silencing the work of self-actualized feminists. She describes her struggles to realize her ambitions in theater, film, and literature, laying out the long path to the publication of her novels. 
   
   
   
  At once philosophical, intimate, and urgent, Black and Female is a powerful testimony of the pervasive and long-lasting effects of racism and patriarchy that provides an ultimately hopeful vision for change. Black feminists are "the status quo's worst nightmare." Dangarembga writes, "our conviction is deep, bolstered by a vivid imagination that reminds us that other realities are possible beyond the one that obtains."

  A horror novel like you’ve never imagined. Zombies like you’ve never seen. 
  William’s bad luck is about to turn—for the worse. Trapped behind enemy lines on the eve of revolution, the British officer has evaded colonial militia so far. When he stumbles across a quiet village, his hopes of escaping to the relative safety of Boston suddenly look promising. 
  Until he runs into something worse than vengeful patriots prowling the darkness. 
  Caught between the undead and roving bands of minutemen, William devises a desperate plan to make it out with his life. But before he can flee, he’s captured by the local villagers. Only one young woman, Carolyn, the daughter of a hated loyalist, believes his story of the unquiet dead. Between the two, they struggle to convince the others of the terror about to descend on all of them. 
  As the undead sweep the outskirts of the town, William and Carolyn realize there’s only one way to stop them—by heading straight to the source of the plague, to the brooding lake a mile into the woods where the dead talk. 
  What really happened out at the dark lake? Can they unlock the secret in time? And how far will the dead go to stop them now? 
  From the bestselling author of the dark fantasy trilogy The Books of Conjury comes this breakneck horror novel.
