From Cecil Rhodes' articulation of his white-dream, and British
emigration and settlement, the actions and attitudes of white
Rhodesians and British officialdom have always been contentious,
and relations between Zimbabwe and Britain of great public
interest. This study of the history of white immigration into
Zimbabwe, draws on quotations from government and other sources,
now housed in British and Zimbabwean national archives. The author
traces immigration into Southern Rhodesia from British occupation
in 1890, to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. He considers
emigration in the wider context of the changing nature of Britain
and the Empire, and discusses the social engineering carried out by
the Rhodesians and the British: on the one hand to try and ensure a
dominant and economically and industrially successful white class
in Rhodesia, and the maintenance of gender balance in the settler
society; and on the other, to discourage immigration of other white
nationals into Rhodesia. He goes on to show however, how these
racially motivated policies and other historical developments meant
that the Rhodesian dream was never realised.
