Description
Summary:There are ten articles in this general issue. In regional terms, one deals with pre-colonial south-east Africa (the area of contemporary Mozambique and Zimbabwe between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers); five are on Rhodesia/Zimbabwe; four are on South Africa, including a review article. In disciplinary terms, the papers are predominantly by historians and social scientists, plus two literary scholars (one of these reviewing recent books on higher education in South Africa). Only two of these papers are thematically close: they deal with aspects of Zimbabwean politics in the 21st century. The rest range widely in subject matter, linked only by the fact that they represent original research conducted mainly by scholars within southern Africa: nine of twelve authors are from within the region.
