Over 50 years since Rhodesia declared independence, Zimbabwe remains haunted by the legacies of colonialism. This book examines one of Britain’s most intractable decolonial episodes and the local and global forces that resulted in independence. This book was first published as a special issue of The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History.
