This book explores concepts of decolonisation, identity, and nation
in the white settler society of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) between
1964 and 1979. It considers how white settlers used the past to
make claims of authority in the present. It investigates the white
Rhodesian state's attempts to assert its independence from Britain
and develop a Rhodesian national identity by changing Rhodesia's
old colonial symbols, and examines how the meaning of these
national symbols changed over time. Finally, the book offers
insights into the role of race in Rhodesian national identity,
showing how portrayals of a 'timeless' black population were highly
dependent upon circumstance and reflective of white settler
anxieties. Using a comparative approach, the book shows parallels
between Rhodesia and other settler societies, as well as other
post-colonial nation-states and even metropoles, as themes and
narratives of decolonisation travelled around the world.
