Mukiwa opens with Peter Godwin, six years old, describing the
murder of his neighbor by African guerillas in 1964, pre-war
Rhodesia. Godwin's parents are liberal whites, his mother a
government-employed doctor, his father an engineer. Through his
innocent, young eyes, the story of the beginning of the end of
white rule in Africa unfolds. The memoir follows Godwin's personal
journey from the eve of war in Rhodesia to his experience fighting
in the civil war that he detests to his adventures as a journalist
in the new state of Zimbabwe, covering the bloody return to black
rule. With each transition Godwin's voice develops, from that of a
boy to a young man to an adult returning to his homeland. This
poignant compelling memoir describes the savage struggle between
blacks and whites as the British Colonial period comes to an end,
set against the vividly painted background of the mysterious world
of southern Africa.
