Deviating from previous anthropocentric readings of O’Neill’s text that fail to notice the play’s non-human concerns, this article posits a zoocritical analysis that is interested in the play’s use of the zoo animal as a metaphor that informs our understanding of the proletariat as their freedoms are restricted and are violently exploited. The explicit references that liken the working class to wild animals and apes in zoos are suggestive of the common points at which the struggles of animals and the working class intersect. Like animals tasked only to please humans and whose life is restricted to zoos, the workers, serving the interests of the upper class, spend their days mostly shovelling coal into the engine of a transatlantic liner and feel a sense of isolation as they rarely make contact with others outside the ship. Yank, the protagonist, when imprisoned, falls into a fit of fury that reminds us of how zoos are like prisons and vice versa. O’Neill implicitly suggests kinship to animals that have been oppressed and tortured for the sake of human interests.","PeriodicalId":42538,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH STUDIES IN AFRICA","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43565532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines resilience in Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil’s The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After, which recounts Wamariya’s experiences of fleeing the Rwandan genocide. The other text considered is Abdi Nor Iftin and Max Alexander’s Call Me American: A Memoir, which depicts Iftin’s life in Somalia during the 1990s and relocation to Kenya and then the USA. The two autobiographical texts present resilience not only as survival but as embodied within the memoirs through the selves presented in the narratives. Resilience emerges as endurance in the face of hardship and suffering, and as a counterforce in various relational contexts, to traumatic personal and collective pasts. Both memoirs exemplify the devastating effects of war, displacement and personal loss, where trauma becomes entrenched in efforts made for survival. The attempt to reorder and repossess trauma can also be seen as an act of resilience. The personal narrative is interpreted and put into writing from the perspective of the person whose life is in focus but also through the eyes of an external observer. The life recounted can therefore be seen as both autobiographically and biographically produced.","PeriodicalId":42538,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH STUDIES IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46772776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings shows a remarkable tendency to withhold information from its readers, apparently as a deliberate narrative strategy that aims to reflect the limited point-of-view of primary characters and thereby heighten the realism of its presentation. This paper discusses four examples of this strategy, beginning with one that (uniquely) cannot be verified by external confirmation: the suggestion that Aragorn secretly witnesses the coming of the Ent-wood to Helm’s Deep. The second case concerns the true identity of Gandalf as an incarnate angel, a detail hidden from most of the characters, and hence from the narrative. The remaining examples concern the treatment of erotic relationships: the long engagement of Arwen and Aragorn, a private family matter from which most characters (and consequently the reader) are excluded, and Sam’s courting of Rosie, revealed only in the closing chapter despite its direct influence on the way Sam behaves when first introduced.","PeriodicalId":42538,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH STUDIES IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45634086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel focuses on how, in the Anthropocene epoch, destructive human activities such as property development and hunting have emptied the city of Cape Town’s peri-urban areas of wildlife, to the extent that Sekhmet is the last surviving black-maned lioness in the world. In response to this overwhelming loss, Green Lion turns its attention to what remains in nature, depicting what Fredric Jameson identifies as an ‘imaginary regression to the past and to older pre-rational forms of thought’ (64). The novel thus foregrounds the ecocritical concept of age-old interconnections between human and nonhuman life through its depiction of the transformative shamanistic relationship between the protagonist, Con Marais, animal activist Mossie and Sekhmet. In this article, I elucidate the change of state and ferality that this transformative relationship elicits in Con, and I extend the notion of ferality to encompass its ecological connotations.","PeriodicalId":42538,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH STUDIES IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47239204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
