Abstract
In this chapter, Tendayi Sithole ventures into a difficult comparative analysis of two separate ‘self-writings’ by an ex-slave (Frederick Douglas) and an anti-colonial nationalist leader (Nkomo). Sithole begins by stating that while his two subjects of study ‘occupied different geographies, lived in different centuries under different regimes were brought together by a set of existential questions and concerns about the plight of being human under enslavement, racism and colonialism.
