Abstract

The study made an expose of the themes of violence, victimisation and brutality as they pervade the short story collection. Working essentially in the Marxist literary theory, Fanonian critical realism and Marxist criminological theories as the springboard for the expose, it has made ground in highlighting colonial brutality towards the colonised and its inevitable violent dehumanising effects to the colonised. Key words: Violence, victimisation, brutality, alienation, assimilado, criminology, Louis Bernardo Honwana, and Mozambican short stories.
