IV
“In examining how people in Eastern Zimbabwe have made sense of, responded and become
resilient to the vagaries of Zimbabwe's complex, multiple crises, through a critical and
theoretically informed analysis of Sliona cosmologies, Nhemachena has produced a book of
wonderful intellectual ambition and thoughtful ethnographic insight. Critically engaging his
deep and ethnographically grounded understanding of Sliona cosmology and ontologies with
theoretical insights from Deleuzian, Ingoldian and a wealth of other current anthropological
approaches, Nhemachena offers an approach to understanding life and living in parts of
postcolonial and post 2000 Zimbabwe that is unique and will be useful for scholars of African
politics and economy as much as for anthropologists concerned with African religions and
cosmology."
“Why must, this compelling book asks, fcthe global' always be the reference point for efforts to
understand social and cultural diversity in the contemporary world? Read it for an answer as
well as for a way of improving the questions we ask of knowledge, language, the world."
“Africanist scholars are increasingly retooling tlieir stock-in-trade — those tired, Euro-
American tropes, epistemologies and metaphysics that have long organised social science
knowledges, objects of study, problems and explanations surrounding Africa. This hook is a
major contribution to these efforts. Through rich ethnography of Zimbabwe's troubled times,
Artwell Nhemachena not only challenges us to unthink many familiar social science concepts,
conundrums and concerns; he also provides a novel conceptual architecture through which to
do so."
This book critically examines the relevance of the increasingly popular theories on relationalitv by
interfacing those theories with the African [Shona] modes of engagement known as chivanhu [often
erroneously narrowly translated as tradition]. In other words, the hook takes seriously concerns
by African scholars that much of the theories that have been applied in Africa do not speak to
relevance and faithfulness to the continent. Situated in a recent Zimbabwean context marked by
multiple crises producing multiple forms of violence and want, the book examines the relevance
of relational ontologies and epistemologies to the everyday life modes of engagements by villagers
in a selected district. The book unflinchingly surfaces the strengths and weaknesses of popular
theories while at the same time underlining the exigencies of theorising from Africa using African
data as the millstones. By meticulously and painstakingly unpacking pertinent issues, the book
provides unparalleled intellectual grit for the contemporary and increasingly popular discourses
on (de-)coloniality and resilience in relation to the African peoples and their [often deliberately
contestedl environments, past, present and future. In other words, the book loudly sounds the
bells for the battles to decolonise and transform Africa on Africa's own terms. This is a book that
would be extremely useful to scholars, activists, theorists, policy makers and implemented as
well as researchers interested not only in Africa's future trajectory but also in the simultaneities of
temporalities and worlds that were sadly overshadowed by colonial epistemologies and ontologies
for the past centuries.
holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University
of Cape Town. He has lectured at a number of universities in Zimbabwe. Currently
he lectures in Sociology at the University of Namibia. His research interests include
knowledge production, relational ontologies, and decoloniality. He is a laureate and
active member of CODKSRIA since 2010.
