Fired Rock

Hitherto the story of African culture has been told through anthropological tools. The point is to tell it through ontological tools. Fired Rock is written off everyday conversations with creators and custodians of Zimbabwean art and African culture. “The Great Zimbabwe was a holy place. There were implements and tools there for use, plows, axes, hoes, bows and arrows. The only rule was that the tools should not spend a night in anyone’s homestead. The newcomers took those holy implements to strange lands without asking anyone. That was the way to defile the stone shrines. All they saw and envied, they took away. That was the beginning of the silence of the ancestors” (Aiden Tevera Manwa, b. 1934, in Guardians of the Land Chenjerai Hove and Ilija Trojanow, 1996). Fired Rock writer Onai Mushava discloses his world with a hammer like Martin Heidegger.
