This website is a space for conversation about the writing of Yvonne Vera, an African Women Writer from Zimbabwe. Vera recently died in April- her obituaries are listed on the right. Students from a class on African Women Writers at The George Washington University in Washington, DC wrote about Zimbabwe and Vera's books, 'Nehanda', 'The Stone Virgins', and 'Why Don't We Carve Other Animals'. Selected works are published here. Please select a piece from the categories in the left column and offer your comments. We look forward to our conversations with you.
