Zimbabwe in Crisis: The International Response and the Space of Silence / Edition 1

by Stephen Chan, Ranka Primorac

Overview

This book covers not only the political situation in Zimbabwe, but its international context and those areas of privation, exclusion and silence within the country that are beneath the everyday face of politics.

Written by either a Zimbabwean or an internationally acknowledged expert on aspects of Zimbabwe, all the authors agree that the silences in and surrounding the African state cannot continue. This volume utilizes the perspectives of diplomacy, health, law and literature written in both English and Shona, and of those deeply concerned with democratization in Zimbabwe and its surrounding region.

Zimbabwe and the Space of Silence will be of interest to students and scholars of African studies, African and Third World politics and international law.

This book was previously published as a special issue of The Round Table.
