British Imperialism in Zimbabwe: Narrating the Organizational Development of the First Chimurenga (1883 - 1904) introduces readers to African perspectives on colonization. The book uses stories passed down orally from one generation to another to unveil a new dimension of history. These stories combined with historiography give readers a comprehensive understanding of how the first Chimurenga, or war of independence, was strategized and implemented. The book explains the model of British imperialism in Zimbabwe and who the leaders and main actors were in the fight to end it. It sheds light on the strategy of the fight for independence and how the philosophy of the Rozvi culture was applied to it. It discusses how certain states existed without written laws and the impact of this on unifying multiethnic groups to form Shona society. Lastly, British Imperialism in Zimbabwe provides fresh insight into the capture and trial of certain key players in the conflict. Scholarly and thoroughly researched, yet immediately accessible, British Imperialism in Zimbabwe is ideal for courses in African history, organizational studies, and Black studies.

This study focuses on the transformation of a rural-based organization, the Lower Guruve Development Association, formed in 1982 in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, an area plagued by economic, social, and political conflict, famine, and an HIV/AIDs pandemic. The Association, a non-governmental organization, serves rural farmers by establishing and managing commercial ventures involving fishing, land tillage and harvesting, and produce distribution; and developing education, nutrition, and health programs. During the last 25 years, the Association has grown from 5 employees to over 90, most of whom are neither highly literature nor formally educated. This study examines the job competencies necessary for Association members to fulfill its mission of promoting agriculture and small- to medium-sized sustainable projects with low initial capital and appropriate technology. Results indicate that competencies are influenced by many things, including perception, work situation, and organizational culture..
