Abstract

Abstract This research examines how Shona writers conceptualize and portray the African communitarian worldwide, and the role of Rhodesia Literature Bureau in publishing Zimbabwean fiction. This research depends on substance examination of selected Shona novels, basic surveys are derived from different diaries, daily papers and periodicals. The hypothetical system is guided by Afrocentricity and African womanism, which are essential to the elucidation of meaning from selected novels that constitute an essential stage of African literature. Of course, this comes with a different perspective to decide whether or not the writers' depiction of the Shona culture and literature makes a difference in Africa's socio-cultural and political freedom. In fact, Africans celebrate the central excellencies to common social obligations, common regard, believe, self-reliance, caring and other traits.  National literature, especially in occupied countries, tries to document its history and expresses the feelings and heroism of its people all the time. Also, it tries to give a moral lesson to colonizers. This paper aids renew and restore the rotting socio-cultural texture of Zimbabwe. It also, reveals that the standards of humanity for all mankind might be productively grasped in charting agreement in which all people of Zimbabwe could subordinate their own private time to the country and respecting one another, consequently forging enduring peace and development while, on the same time, the leadership would be ruled by means of democratic tents espoused through humanity for mankind.
