๐Ÿ—’๏ธ Zimbabwean writer Valerie Tagwiraโ€™s novel Trapped (2020, Harare: Weaver Press) is set in Harare between the latter part of 2016 and November 2017, the period leading to the ousting of Robert Mugabe, the late former president of Zimbabwe, from power. The novel provides a glimpse into the lives of three protagonists, all of whom are university graduates, (un)employed, and forced to hustle for survival. Through these characters, Tagwira dramatises the condition of the educated and (un)employed in a dysfunctional economy and in the grips of a persistent crisis, which transforms them into โ€œvagrants, vendors and criminals.โ€ The overarching argument in this article is that the experiences of Tagwiraโ€™s characters are prisms through which to determine the effectsโ€”on the lives of the educated, both employed and unemployedโ€”of Zimbabweโ€™s unprecedented and prolonged political and economic stagnation. Drawing on Guy Standingโ€™s concept of the precariat and Michel de Certeauโ€™s idea of the practice of everyday life, this article contends that Tagwiraโ€™s representation of the experiences of the educated, unemployed, and employed highlights the economic injustices that are rampant in postcolonial Zimbabwe.
