A deeply felt and engaging personal account of Zimbabwe's political
awakening by one of its best-known historians. I did not set out
for Rhodesia as a radical' writes Terence Ranger. This memoir of
the years between 1957, when he first went to Southern Rhodesia,
and 1967 when he published his first book, is both an intimate
record of the African awakening which Ranger witnessed during those
ten years, and of the process which led him to write Revolt in
Southern Rhodesia. Intended as both history and as historiography,
Writing Revolt is also about the ways in which politics and history
interacted. The men with whom Ranger discussed Zimbabwean history
were the leaders of African nationalism; his seminar papers were
sent to prisons and into restricted areas. Both they and he were
making political as well as intellectual discoveries. The book also
includes a brief account of Ranger's life before he went to Africa.
TERENCE RANGER was Emeritus Rhodes Professor of Race Relations,
University of Oxfordand author of many books including Are we not
also Men? (1995), Voices from the Rocks (1999) and Bulawayo Burning
(2010), and co-editor of Violence and Memory (2000). Zimbabwe &

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:

Terence Ranger collected a range of sources, including the archive
of Thompson's papers, the National Archives and oral interviews.
This work provides a collective biography of Thompson Samkange and
of two of his sons, Sketchley and Stanlake. Thompson Samkange was
born in 1893 at the time that his land was being overwhelmed from
the South. He was one of the founders of the African press.
Stanlake Samkange, Professor of History and writer of historical
novels, lived to see the achievement of Zimbabwe's independence in
1980. Terence Ranger has had access to a range of sources,
including the archive of Thompson's papers, found in a tin trunk
which had been kept amongst rats and damp in a laundry. He also
discovered a large body of evidence for the modern history of
Methodism in the National Archives. However,much of this book
depends on the information gleaned from oral interviews. 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:

the 1980s, and silence has surrounded the history of this region of
Zimbabwe, excluding it from national memory. This text aims to
break the silence andredress the imbalance of Zimbabwe's national
history. North America: Heinemann; Zimbabwe: Weaver Press
