Overview

Echoes of Gukurahundi is a haunting and uncompromising work of literary fiction that follows one woman's life as it is shaped and shattered by Zimbabwe's darkest chapter. Set against the backdrop of the Gukurahundi massacres of the 1980s, the novel traces the journey of Dots, a woman born at the intersection of forbidden love, ethnic violence, and political silence. Her story is not a retelling of testimonies, but a fictional lens through which the inherited trauma of an entire nation is confronted. Through Dots's voice, the novel explores the psychology of survival, the cost of buried history, and the devastating power of state-imposed silence. It is a story about memory, how it fractures, how it returns, and how it demands to be heard. Zimbabwean-born British author Daniel Japi Mazwi delivers a bold narrative that blends historical truth with literary imagination, offering a deeply human exploration of a tragedy many fear to name. Echoes of Gukurahundi is not only a novel, it is an act of witnessing, a call for remembrance, and a challenge to the silence that has defined generations.
