- Title
Chamambo: Dorfgeschichten im globalen Vergleich.
- Authors
Twellmann, Marcus
- Abstract
Despite its cultural specificity the concept of 'village stories' can be used for comparative literary studies with a global scope. Taking Berthold Auerbach's early Schwarzwälder Dorfgeschichten (1843) as a starting point the following article puts this claim to the test in reading Gabriel Ruhumbika's Village in Uhuru (1969), an English-language novel from Tanzania, as an exemplar of the same genre.
