Description
Zimbabwe: Challenging the Stereotypes brings a fresh perspective to the country's history, from Independence in 1980 to the present day. Written by a South African academic and writer who lived through it all, this book offers a unique alternative viewpoint on key events and issues.
It questions long-held beliefs about Zimbabwe's past, including the idea that the country had everything going for it at Independence and threw it away through poor government. The book provides a thorough assessment of Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's involvement in the Congo, the Gukurahundi massacres, sanctions, human rights, the rule of law, the media, and culture in Zimbabwe.
Recent research is built upon to challenge widely-propagated myths about Land Reform and other aspects of Zimbabwe's recent history. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Zimbabwe's story.
