The 'Rhodesian crisis' of the 1960s and 1970s, and the early 1980s
crisis of independent Zimbabwe, can be understood against the
background of Cold War historical transformations brought on by,
among other things, African decolonization in the 1960s; the
failure of American power in Vietnam and the rise of Third World
political power at the UN and elsewhere. In this African history of
the diplomacy of decolonization in Zimbabwe, Timothy Lewis
Scarnecchia examines the relationship and rivalry between Joshua
Nkomo and Robert Mugabe over many years of diplomacy, and how both
leaders took advantage of Cold War racialized thinking about what
Zimbabwe should be, including Anglo-American preoccupations with
keeping whites from leaving after Independence. Based on a wealth
of archival source materials, including materials that have
recently become available through thirty-year rules in the UK and
South Africa, it uncovers how foreign relations bureaucracies the
US, UK, and SA created a Cold War 'race state' notion of Zimbabwe
that permitted them to rationalize Mugabe's state crimes in return
for Cold War loyalty to Western powers.
