60 years on from Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, this book brings together many important themes to examine its consequences and offer the most comprehensive overview to date.
Situating the UDI in its local, regional, international and transnational context, this collection offers a range of historical approaches; political, economic, social, cultural, international and transnational, to provide a richer and deeper understanding of the emergence of contemporary Zimbabwe.
Based on an array of rich archival and oral history sources, this book brings together new ways of understanding the multiple and complex dimensions of Rhodesia's UDI and highlights its importance to wider African and World history.
