The growing scholarship on urban historiography in Zimbabwe is
neither widely published, nor particularly well known. The editors
have here gathered the scattered and growing work on urban history
into a representative volume, displaying the diversity of work that
is available. The essays show that the study of urban history in
Zimbabwe brings into focus a wide array of subjects: the spaces
which were created for Africans in the urbanisation process; the
contradictory responses of the colonial state; the effects of
rural- urban linkages on labour organisation; and the struggles
over the mapping of the city along racial, class and gender lines.
The editors argue that the problems faced by colonial
administrators continue to face their post-colonial counterparts,
but in exacerbated form.
