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.

Founded by Lavinya Stennet, the Black Curriculum is an organisation
dedicated to promoting the learning of Black British history within
schools, via workshops and free teaching resources. Black British
history is currently not taught consistently in British schools,
despite being recommended by reports such as the Windrush review
and the MacPherson Report as a way of tackling racism. This series
provides a resource to fill the gap and aims to support the work
that the Black Curriculum is doing. The books will act as a
resource in the classroom, as well as promoting independent
learning. The bold illustrations from Black British illustrators,
and age-appropriate text present the information in a fun and
accessible way. At DK, we believe in the power of discovery. So why
stop there? The Black Curriculum - Legacies is a three-part series
for children aged 8+ who want to learn more about Black British
History, alongside teachers seeking to inspire children to learn
more about the subject. Explore important sites in Black British
History with The Black Curriculum - Places, and discover an
inspiring collection of migration stories from Black British

Canadian politics in the 1990s were characterized by an unwavering
focus on the deficit. At the beginning of the decade, it seemed
that fiscal deficits were intractable - a fait accompli of Canadian
politics. Yet by the end of the decade, Ottawa had taken remarkable
actions to eliminate its budgetary shortfalls and had successfully
eradicated its deficits. How such a radical change of political
course came to pass is still not well understood. In the Long Run
We're All Dead offers the first comprehensive scholarly account of
this vital public policy issue. Lewis deftly analyzes the history
of deficit finance from before Confederation through Canada's
postwar Keynesianism to the retrenchment of the Mulroney and
Chretien years. In doing so, he illuminates how the political
conditions for Ottawa's deficit elimination in the 1990s
materialized after over twenty consecutive years in the red, and
how the decline of Canadian Keynesianism has made way for the
emergence of politics organized around balanced budgets. This
important book provides scholars and students of Canadian politics
with a new framework by which to understand the adoption of
government policy, the economic and fiscal le
