Prior to 1964 the nation of Zambia was governed by a British
administration as a Protectorate under the name of Northern
Rhodesia. Despite the tensions and difficulties posed by the
diversity of ethnic identities sufficient cohesion amongst the
groups was established to overthrow British rule and establish an
independent nation. Since Independence Zambia has persisted in
maintaining the territorial integrity of its these boundaries, and
as a result has continued to maintain an element of cohesion
amongst the competing ethnic groups. This work seeks to understand,
why, despite their rivalries, these groups coalesced sufficiently
to establish an independent nation. Drawing upon the insights of
Girard a cycle of fragmentation and coalescence is identified as
repeating itself in various guises throughout Zambian history. The
final part of the work carries out a sustained theological
reflection based on the insights gained and makes some proposals
for the praxis of the church in Zambia.
