"This book is the first attempt at writing about theories of literature in ChiShona. It has not been done before. It gives a critical analysis of some of the major theories of both written and unwritten literature using ChiShona as a medium of writing and explains the major tenets, place and value of the major literary theories while using an African perspective of evaluating literature. It uses African existential experiences as underpinning the whole understanding of African creative art processes. Thus, the book sees it as vital the need to accept and promote scholarship that recognizes African identities and life experiences as the kind of values that realistically lead to the total emancipation and liberation of the African people. It is premised on the notion that meaningful criticism of African literature can only become possible when it takes into account the whole historical experiences of the African people. Thus, there is a clear understanding in the book that criticism of literature always presupposes use of major theoretical positions and persuasions that underpin the criticism itself."
