Heart of Crimson

The Heart of Redness is the story of many things about far away places. The story of Camagu, who returns to South Africa from America and is disappointed with the new democracy, and ends up in a village at the other end of the country while looking for a woman he just met and lost early. The story of the young female prophets who advised the Xhosa people to slaughter their cattle and burn their crops one hundred and fifty years ago, and of those who believed in the prophets and those who did not. It is the story of the hostility that continues one hundred and fifty years later, and the centuries-old conflicts of a people desperate in the face of famine. It is the story of a man who will find true love in the village where strange love triangles, a platonic love follow each other, the modernization process, locality, famine, a history written under the British colony, the heart of the red lands.

The Heart of Redness, which is considered one of the most important works of Zakes Mda, one of the most important living names of African literature, touches on the recent history of South Africa with its simple but powerful structure, while also reflecting on the historical events of almost two centuries ago and their reflections on the present day. sheds light with a tongue. Heart of Redness should be read not only as a novel, but also as a historical work, as an attitude towards what has happened and is happening.
