Topic: Solomon Mutswairo


  
  Mother Tongue
Solomon Mutswairo and Musaemura B. Zimunya were among those I interviewed in order to understand the implications of the English language for the African poet.
Mutswairo was one of the first Shona novelists and poets to publish in Zimbabwe and is therefore considered part of the country's "Generation One" of African writers and poets.
Mutswairo: Poetry, of course, is not new to Africans.

 Mutswairo, Solomon - Profiles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
MUTSWAIRO, Solomon (1924-), Zimbabwean storyteller and poet, was born in Zawu, Mosowe district, central Zimbabwe, to Salvation Army missionaries and educated at Adams College, South Africa, Fort Hare University College, the University of Ottawa, Canada, and Howard University, Washington, DC.
His intensely elegiac and pastoral poems not only exemplify the poetic nuances of the Shona language in which they are written but also celebrate the beauty of the rural environment of the author's childhood, which has been destroyed by white settler domination, colonialism, and the war of independence.

Inspirini these two writers is their desire to refute the White man's fraudulent claims that the Black man had no history and no culture to speak of.
Also Mutswairo's second English novel, Chaminuka: Prophet of Zimbabwe (Washington DC, Three Continents Press, 1983), seeks to project the pre-colonial past as having been shaped and influenced by a philosophy and a vision that was humane.
At another level these two writers are also seeking to re-establish a meaningful relationship with the African past (which had been-deliberately distorted by the settlers) in order to enable the Black man to shape his future.
