Debt is one of the main technologies of artificial scarcity. It pulls tomorrow’s life into today’s survival and then charges interest on the desperation. A humane society would cancel what should never have been monetised.

[Panashe Chigumadzi @PanasheChig]

In my new @BostonReview essay, “The Land Question,” I contend that “within the liberal international order, it is ‘reasonable’ and ‘workable’ to struggle to end apartheid and racial segregation, while it is ‘unreasonable’ and ‘unworkable’ to struggle to end settler colonialism and indigenous land dispossession.” 'Apartheid' is overrepresented in global left discourse and historiography, dangerously obscuring more foundational questions of structural dispossession. In this critique of liberalism's apartheid paradigm informed by South Africa's Black Consciousness-Pan Africanist Tradition (the Azanian Tradition), I map out the historical geopolitics of the land question and indigenous sovereignty across the world.

@TheBookBunk @hayfestival @mcmillanlibrary Many thanks to Nairobi Litfest, Hay Festival Global, and Book Bunk for bringing together writers and thinkers from around the world and uniting our literary community.

@TheBookBunk @hayfestival @mcmillanlibrary I am yet to form coherent perspective on these probes. I consider them in observation of our country's status quo with hope that the lessons learned in the process & ideas formed, will influence my curiosities, research & overal development; by doing so, influence our future.

@TheBookBunk @hayfestival @mcmillanlibrary Dr. Panashe Chigumadzi @PanasheChig Historian, essayist and Author of 'These Bones Will Rise Again,' left us with some powerful contemplations:

1. What is reasonable to struggle for?

2. What exactly are we fighting for?

3. When do we choose protest over reconnaissance?

@TheBookBunk @hayfestival @mcmillanlibrary With formidable panellists in every session, one conversation stood out for me, mainly because of its timeliness; a dialogue on how to challenge and transcend colonial hegemony. It pushed my thinking , and I hope these prompts give you something to reflect on too:

@TheBookBunk @hayfestival @mcmillanlibrary This festival is a safe space for liberal conversations, creativity, and community, with a focus on exploring 'Alternative Knowledge Systems' inspired by fiction, non-fiction, poetry, music, visual arts, and governance.

We revolt!
June 25th, Kenya. 🇰🇪

May we eliminate any doubt... We're capable of living the change we're fighting for.

It will be done.

May those that have gone before us, before their time, be honoured through this revolution.

[Perpeture Nyagonchera @PerpetureJN]

We witness our rage bearing fruit and our resistance documented. We live on, truly, we do.
To fight another day. If not for ourselves, then for those who died fighting for one.

Hope.

I reflect on the meaning of community not only in meaning but in its practicality.

Community to me implies contribution and compassion.
1. I am continually inspired by people at all levels of the ladder, their way of thinking and their eagerness to contribute as a collective.

If you’re manifesting from a place of lack and fear all you will create is chaos.

YOU ARE ABUNDANT 🔁

#16Days can be so damn triggering.

I’ve collected a few grounding exercises that may help survivors out. Esp if you’re navigating flashbacks.

Sending everyone love.

A well-crafted narrative that introduces and immerses the reader in the intricacies of post-colonial Rhodesia, exploring themes that necessitate the need for conversation and reflection. We experience a changing society through a dynamic Zimbabwean family.
