| description | This study explores the relationship between return migration, space and identity in Zimbabwean Literature as exemplified by Daniel Mandishona’s White Gods Black Demons (2009). It employs postcolonial theory in its exploration of the relationship between return migration, space and identity in Mandishona’s text.

However, the research will also consider the various tactics and strategies that returnees employ to re-integrate in their homelands. |
