(2013) by NoViolet Bulawayo and Petina Gappah"s An Elegy Of Easterly (2009). The paper is focused on the literary representations of poverty and the way in which the writers attempt in their depictions to give the voiceless a voice through narrative devices, thereby allowing the characters to claim agency and speak over the narrative of poverty in the context of violence in Zimbabwe. It is no news that the last decade in Zimbabwe was characterised by an unprecedented economic and political crisis. It is for this reason this study explores how the writers acknowledge poverty both culturally and aesthetically while at the same time emphasizing that violence and indigence is materially and socially real. In addition, the research deploys the desk research method to analyse the texts while paying specific attention to the socio-cultural and economic contexts within which the cultural production takes place. This involves an in-depth reading and study of both primary and secondary materials for the critical evaluation of the texts. The concept of Structural violence will be used for the analysis of the texts in order to examine the depiction of poverty in Zimbabwe as reflected in the selected texts, as well as investigate the portrayal of political violence after independence in the selected Zimbabwean texts. The study concludes that literature provides an exceptional prospect by highlighting on individual experiences of indigence as it accommodates the diversity of voices that express and voice these experiences. In other words, this study establishes that literary depictions of violence and poverty can be a source of authoritative knowledge on poverty, since they provide wide-ranging and focused descriptions of lived experiences of poverty</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4aec97583c5068b5dd6a206021c33db8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":92853890,"asset_id":88972931,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/92853890/download_file?st=MTczMjQ1MzQ1MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="88972931"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="88972931"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 88972931; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=88972931]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=88972931]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 88972931; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='88972931']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 88972931, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "4aec97583c5068b5dd6a206021c33db8" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=88972931]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":88972931,"title":"Poverty in the Context Violence in Noviolet Bulawayo's We Need New Names and Petina Gappah's An Elegy of Easterly","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This study is a critical examination of the depictions of poverty in the context of violence in We Need New Names (2013) by NoViolet Bulawayo and Petina Gappah\"s An Elegy Of Easterly (2009).

The<br />pervasiveness of Disney movies has transformed the pop-culture and cultural landscape of not just the American culture but the rest of the world. The franchise has become a favourite of children all over the world. Inspiring children to desire a life of grandeur, adventure, where dreams become a reality. It reveals itself in generations of children keenly seeking a Prince Charming or wanting to be the price charming, an unrealistic fairy tale relationships and the omnipotent, happily-ever after. The themes revolve around the grandeur of true love, the power of humanity, and the infamous good versus evil with good winning at the end. However, despite being the forerunner of adventure and motivation, Disney is also known for the lack of agency given to its female characters. It has also been criticised for promoting female subservience and subjugation in addition to the glorification of abusive relationships. The paper's investigation of Disney's earlier animations submits that they contribute to the circulation of the normative gender roles that girls should be passive, submissive and weak. In sharp contrast, its modern Disney animations suggest that girls should be strong, energetic, resourceful and they should seek to<br />achieve greatness with hard work.

The<br />pervasiveness of Disney movies has transformed the pop-culture and cultural landscape of not just the American culture but the rest of the world. The franchise has become a favourite of children all over the world. Inspiring children to desire a life of grandeur, adventure, where dreams become a reality. It reveals itself in generations of children keenly seeking a Prince Charming or wanting to be the price charming, an unrealistic fairy tale relationships and the omnipotent, happily-ever after. The themes revolve around the grandeur of true love, the power of humanity, and the infamous good versus evil with good winning at the end. However, despite being the forerunner of adventure and motivation, Disney is also known for the lack of agency given to its female characters. It has also been criticised for promoting female subservience and subjugation in addition to the glorification of abusive relationships. The paper's investigation of Disney's earlier animations submits that they contribute to the circulation of the normative gender roles that girls should be passive, submissive and weak. In sharp contrast, its modern Disney animations suggest that girls should be strong, energetic, resourceful and they should seek to<br />achieve greatness with hard work. Consequently, with the world now clamouring and fighting for gender equality and equity, Disney no longer writes women's life stories through a male discourse or reinforcing the patriarchal ideals and philosophies towards women with the new movies being released.

Mariama Ba's epistolary novel, titled So Long a Letter will be used as the primary data for this research. The interpretive design will be used as the methodology. Ba's epistolary was purposively selected due to its engagement with marriages (polygamy and monogamy), unpaid labour and the culture's support in the subjugation of women. The text is subjected to textual analysis. The study finds that B芒's epistolary reveals the problems of polygamy, patriarchy and female oppression within Kenyan culture. Ba critiques polygamy by exploring the repercussion of unpaid labour and how it encourages the subjugation of women under patriarchy.

Hence, this paper examines the portrayal of unpaid domestic work as it relates to female subservience in Mariama Ba's epistolary novel.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/88935700/The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-10-21T12:18:47.203-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":14676400,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":92822730,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/92822730/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/92822730/download_file?st=MTczMjQ1MzQ1MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjQ1MzQ1MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrog.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/92822730/The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary1-libre.pdf?1666381417=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrog.pdf\u0026Expires=1732457051\u0026Signature=BkZh583ag7R3lOaRiNW8VoSiW51S7hF-y4V67nVqQjnZoK69QhSa5L0c4kKuMrz6jZ8IIyDkmzkoRL8VcubbKPnWV8ayiBRFtL5jKPvAUG3otRsbfOaalQRbrOh7lc7fIbQ~QH8YISVNNbKNx~KB8~SLxGKjj37lvEGM7DGmRpoydtMnD331MloJQkD5gYrRVupwLZpYqL0i71XmWB-uiDRt3j88u1wi0RBDWaJ7aZR-fz49sRQejHohIGcTh2diFEtj3pORBR2OJpb8EFWcsq0VWBdsobiAiQxOYuceRQQ8RdNNm08lo2SwmDCugarnsVzE0LVqjoN9MlkIjJg0vw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary","translated_slug":"","page_count":12,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":14676400,"first_name":"Kehinde","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Kemi","page_name":"KKemi","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2014-08-03T23:57:39.835-07:00","display_name":"Kehinde Kemi","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/KKemi"},"attachments":[{"id":92822730,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/92822730/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/92822730/download_file?st=MTczMjQ1MzQ1MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjQ1MzQ1MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrog.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/92822730/The_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrogating_a_Kenyan_Epistolary1-libre.pdf?1666381417=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Convenience_of_Subservience_Interrog.pdf\u0026Expires=1732457051\u0026Signature=BkZh583ag7R3lOaRiNW8VoSiW51S7hF-y4V67nVqQjnZoK69QhSa5L0c4kKuMrz6jZ8IIyDkmzkoRL8VcubbKPnWV8ayiBRFtL5jKPvAUG3otRsbfOaalQRbrOh7lc7fIbQ~QH8YISVNNbKNx~KB8~SLxGKjj37lvEGM7DGmRpoydtMnD331MloJQkD5gYrRVupwLZpYqL0i71XmWB-uiDRt3j88u1wi0RBDWaJ7aZR-fz49sRQejHohIGcTh2diFEtj3pORBR2OJpb8EFWcsq0VWBdsobiAiQxOYuceRQQ8RdNNm08lo2SwmDCugarnsVzE0LVqjoN9MlkIjJg0vw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":106,"name":"Religion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Religion"},{"id":7490,"name":"Gender Equality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Gender_Equality"},{"id":10453,"name":"Feminism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Feminism"},{"id":12405,"name":"Epistolary literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Epistolary_literature"},{"id":92907,"name":"Islamic Family Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Islamic_Family_Law"},{"id":114724,"name":"Marriage and Family","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Marriage_and_Family"},{"id":1810793,"name":"Patriachal Society","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Patriachal_Society"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
