The first single-volume history of Zimbabwe with detailed coverage
from pre-colonial times to the present, this book examines
Zimbabwe's pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial social, economic
and political history and relates historical factors and trends to
recent developments in the country. Zimbabwe is a country with a
rich history, dating from the early San hunter-gatherer societies.
The arrival of British imperial rule in 1890 impacted the country
tremendously, as the European rulers exploited Zimbabwe's
resources, giving rise to a movement of African nationalism and
demands for independence. This culminated in the armed conflict of
the 1960s and 1970s and independence in 1980. The 1990s were marked
by economic decline and the rise of opposition politics. In 1999,
Mugabe embarked on a violent land reform program that plunged the
nation's economy into a downward spiral, with political violence
and human rights violations making Zimbabwe an international pariah
state. This book will be useful to those studying Zimbabwean
history and those unfamiliar with the country's past.
