These two companion volumes on Soldiers and Society give new
perspectives on Zimbabwe's liberation struggle. This work is an
attempt to look at some of the realities of Zimbabwe's liberation
war and at what happened afterwards, rather than at the comfortable
myths. Both heroic and terrible deeds are recorded. Zimbabwe:

These two companion volumes on Soldiers and Society give new
perspectives on Zimbabwe's liberation struggle. This work examines
people's beliefs, ideas and experiences both during Zimbabwe's
liberation war and afterwards. The contributors look at African
religion and Christianity and explore the efforts to educate people
for a new society. They also look at the ideas used by whites to
justify brutality and at the civilian experiences at the hands of
the guerillas and the Fifth Brigade. Finally, they ask whether the
new ideas were carried on after the war had ended. Zimbabwe:

Highlighting both the range of philosophical issues that Shona
proverbs raise and the shared concerns emanating from them, this
book is the outcome of 40 years work by Taperesa Mutematemi
Samaita, a teacher at Mnene Boys Central Primary School in
Mberengwa District from 1946 to 1949. Shona proverbs teaching
formed part of his Shona lessons and he encouraged his pupils to
collect as many Shona proverbs as possible. When collected, these
were first analytically dealt with orally, then followed by written
exercises. From its beginning at Mnene Boys Central Primary School
the project continued until 1986. The proverbs contained in this
book were gathered from across Zimbabwe covering Midlands,
Masvingo, Manicaland and Mashonal and West Provinces. Of the 5240
Shona proverbs Taperesa Mutematemi Samaita collected 2736 are
included in this book which adds to the existing inventory of
proverbs by including modern proverbs that earlier collections had
not included. By also including Ndau proverbs the book broadens the
parameters of the Shona language by recognising that the language
does not only get enriched through contact with the West but by
lexical diversity within its dialects.
This volume explores the prehistory of human rights in Zimbabwe. It
asks whether there are democratic legacies from pre-colonial
polities and what limitations then existed on human rights. It also
asks what colonialism contributed to the discourse of human rights
and democracy despite its denial of both to Africans. Contents:
pre- colonial states of Central Africa as embodiments of despotic
culture; archaeological evidence of political structures; democracy
and traditional political structure 1890-1999; imperial and settler
hypocrisy and double standards and the denial of human rights;
black elite responses to ideologies of democracy; the law courts in
Rhodesia; interaction between white and black trade unionism; and
the Build a Nation campaign, 1961-62.
