Zimbabwe

We Need New Names
by NoViolet Bulawayo

“They will have to walk on their toes because they must not leave footprints on the new earth lest they be mistaken for those who want to claim the land as theirs."

Noviolet Bulawayo’s book is sheer genius, tracking her country’s decline from independence to repression and the point where staying in her homeland becomes an impossibility.
