Debating Zimbabwean politics post-2017 has also meant emphasising the continuation of Robert Mugabe’s politics imagined as unproblematically overflowing into the Mnangagwa post-2017 era. Critics from the social sciences continue to underplay the uniqueness of Mnangagwa’s coup in its precedent-setting politics currently dragging Zimbabwean citizens into uncharted political territory. How do scholars imagine Zimbabwe moving beyond the cycle of violence born of a coup and enforced on its citizens by an intolerant ‘new’ dispensation? This study uses the creative agency of the anxious and unstable narratives of imaginative literature to unpack the symbolically unsaid implications of the military coup and its aftermath. A textual and close reading of NoViolet Bulawayo’s novel Glory (2022) suggests that interpreting imaginative literary metaphors contributes to generating subjective and incendiary narratives that imagine the possibility to think beyond new forms of authoritarianism post-2017. The argument in this article is that the cultural uniqueness of the literary narratives in Glory lies in how they generate literary contexts that revise narratives on post-2017 Zimbabwe in current social science-based scholarship.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"55 1","pages":"303 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mangedwa Nyathi founded the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church Agape Center, feeding people all over the city during the worst and hardest parts of the 1980s. The theological underpinnings of the food pantry operated as a practical political education in Black liberation. Rev. Nyathi played a profound influence on the author as a child bringing anti-apartheid politics as agape into the life of other clergy members, the author’s parents, and the entire congregation. The Agape Center shaped the author’s anticolonial consciousness by reframing economic justice activism in Detroit within a global context of resistance. This article remembers the work of the Agape Center food pantry, its origins in the political economy and social history of the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church – based on child perspective reminiscences and autobiography. It argues that the anti-apartheid movement in Detroit was peopled by everyday people, children and adults, who were survivors of brutalising levels of racialised economic violence and its attendant colonial ideologies.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115680935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper documents and analyses her amplification of poetry on public radio and the feminist collectives that came before it, with specific focus on Jenkins’ Pan-African feminist imagination and movement building. I suggest that Jenkins’ body of work – particularly Poetry in the Air (PitA) – provided wider access to the featured poets as well as a place for self-writing and self-representation. I argue that PitA, along with Jenkins’ other work building feminist poetry and performance collectives, made important contributions to South African women’s performance strategies of liberation, in a country (and world) that actively (re)produces the ‘Female Fear Factory’. As a co-creator with Jenkins on some of these Pan-African feminist poetry collectives and productions, I use the oral histories that I conducted with her between 2016 and 2017, the transcripts of PitA, and the social history of contemporary South African feminist poetry collectives to examine her legacy.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124701881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Black Woman’s Archivist excavates and preserves the stories of black transnational women whose works create, impact, and contribute to multiple black radical movements. By using a portraiture methodology, I share the history of Africana women like Phyllis Ntantala, while highlighting my relationship to her and other Africana women’s experiences in Pan-African Liberation struggles. Phyllis’s story led me to my initial experience with the archive, which expanded my research on Africana women’s roles in Pan-African Liberation struggles. Her work encourages my current research on Margaret Walker (7 July 1915–30 November 1998), African American writer, political activist, mother, and educator who created the Conference of African Affairs in 1971 at Jackson State University that advocated against various forms of colonialism. There is also Queen Mother Moore (27 July 1898–2 May 1997), Pan African Leader, founder of the Reparation Movement, political theorist, mother, and educator. Emergent themes like anti-apartheid advocacy, education, and literary activism connect these transnational women. They contribute to a black feminist praxis and leadership within African Liberation Movements despite the normalcy of heteropatriarchy.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130238321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
