Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A highly personal story of the eminent British writer returning to her African roots that is "brilliant . . . [and] captures the contradictions of a young country." -- New York Times Book ReviewA rich and penetrating portrait of Lessing's homeland, African Laughter recounts the visits she made to Zimbabwe in 1982, 1988, 1989, and 1992, after being exiled from the old Southern Rhodesia for 25 years for her opposition to the minority white government. Lessing uses memory and reminiscence with recent experience to depict a country in the process of change. A nostalgic and highly personal series of journeys to the author's homeland of Zimbabwe are recounted in this book, which also captures the essence of a nation coming to terms with political corruption, the spread of AIDS, new roles for women and rural Blacks, and other areas of social change.
