Response to MT Howard’s Review of Race and Diplomacy in Zimbabwe
Race and Diplomacy in Zimbabwe
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. In this history of the diplomacy of decolonization in Zimbabwe, Timothy Scarnecchia examines the rivalry between …

Charles Laurie. The Land Reform Deception
In The Land Reform Deception: Political Opportunism in Zimbabwe’s Land Seizure Era Charles Laurie provides an impressive examination of the violence and politics behind a major event in Southern African history and in the history of dismantling settler societies more generally. The appropriation of white-owned commercial farms without compensation caused a major transformation in the country, and not surprisingly a polarized scholarly response. F…
The Anglo-American and Commonwealth Negotiations for a Zimbabwean Settlement between Geneva and Lancaster, 1977–1979
As historical interest and scrutiny has grown over the diplomatic history of the Rhodesian crisis from the mid-1970s to independence in 1980, the bulk of historical attention has been focused on the two big conferences in this period, the Geneva talks in October–December 1976, and the Lancaster House talks in September–December 1979. This article examines the shifting contours of Anglo-American negotiations with the leaders of the Zimbabwean Patr…
Front Line Diplomats
This article examines front line state (FLS) and Nigerian diplomatic support for the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe during the crucial years of war and negotiations that ultimately led to independence for Zimbabwe in 1980. The diplomatic role of Nigeria in the process, particularly during 1978, is explored as a contrast to the role of FLS diplomats from Mozambique and Zambia. Based on archival sources from the UK and US, this article presents eviden…
Segregation
This is an impressive book that tries to do with the concept of urban segregation what other recent books have done with other “big concepts” in world history. From this perspective, the book is an

The Urban Roots of Democracy and Political Violence in Zimbabwe
A timely examination of African politics during the formative years of Zimbabwean nationalism. The Urban Roots of Democracy and Political Violence in Zimbabwe details a democratic tradition developed in the 1940s and 1950s, and a movement that would fall victim to an increasingly elitist and divisive political culture by the 1960s. Providing biographical sketches of key personalities within the genealogy of nationalist politics, Timothy Scarnecch…

The 'Fascist Cycle' in Zimbabwe, 2000-2005
Following a comparative model of fascism developed by Robert O. Paxton, this article explores the similarities between a fascist cycle in Italy (1920–1924) and Zimbabwe (2000–2005). The comparison focuses on the following areas: the state's use of paramilitary organisations, or militias, to maintain or regain control; the abuse of legislative and judicial powers to protect ruling party interests; party membership as a prerequisite for involvement…

Mai Chaza'sGuta re Jehova(city of God)
This article provides a historical analysis of a unique religious healing community that successfully attracted a strong following for a brief period in the mid‐1950s in and around Salisbury, Rhodesia. The leader of the movement, Mai Chaza, became well‐known as a healer and remains a popular personality in the memories of older persons who participated in, or knew of, her Guta re Jehova (City of God), an alternative community established outside …
Poor Women and Nationalist Politics
The relationships between specific groups of women and men are explored during a formative period of urban nationalist politics, showing the failure of nationalists to incorporate women's demands, rather than the absence of women's struggles. It is important to view historical events as they occurred within larger processes of class formation and gender contestations, but it is no longer sufficient simply to prove the historical role of women in …
