Abstract:
This paper is about the fictional representation of the tenacity, innovativeness and agency displayed by people who seek to better their living conditions and survive socio-economic and political cesspools. The aim is to demonstrate how political boundaries are surmounted and the various means used to
migrate as a way to be in the diaspora and better one’s condition. A worst case scenario of Zimbabwe under a crisis is used to demonstrate the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people as they struggle to migrate and embrace global citizenry.
