Chow-Quesada offers a remarkable new reading of Marechera’s work, liberating it from the corset of overly used typologies and parameters of postcolonial theory. Seen through Marechera’s works and words, utopia is not the far-away imaginary world of our dreams. It rather takes form through the permanent and adamant resistance against all tenets of the world as we know it. Importantly in the context of recent discourses around identity politics, Chow-Quesada highlights how Marechera explodes all categorization along racial, ethnic or national identity. -Flora Veit-Wild, Professor Emerita of African Literatures and Cultures, Humboldt University, Berlin.
