This book investigates how culture reflects change in Zimbabwe,
focusing predominantly on Mnangagwa's 2017 coup, but also
uncovering deeper roots for how renewal and transition are
conceived in the country. Since Emmerson Mnangagwa ousted Robert
Mugabe in 2017, he has been keen to defi ne his "Second Republic"
or "New Dispensation" with a rhetoric of change and a rejection of
past political and economic cultures. This multi and inter-
disciplinary volume looks to the (social) media, language/
discourse, theatre, images, political speeches and literary fiction
and non- fiction to see how they have reflected on this time of
unprecedented upheaval. The book argues that themes of self-
renewal stretch right back to the formative years of the ZANU PF,
and that despite the longevity of Mugabe's tenure, the latest
transition can be seen as part of a complex and protracted layering
of postcolonial social, economic and political changes. Providing
an innovative investigation of how political change in Zimbabwe is
reflected on in cultural texts and products, this book will be of
interest to researchers across African history, literature,
politics, culture and post- colonial studies.
