Sobre IBD

A collection of thought-provoking translated poems exploring African womanhood in the context of displacement. Originally penned in Karanga (a dialect of the Shona language) by Vazhure herself, the poems in Uprooted seek to raise consciousness of the celebrations and discontents of migration whilst enlightening readers on the culture preserved in colourful Karanga language.
