Colonial Agriculture for Africans
The massive starvation that African nations experience from time to time occurs, as evidenced by this study, because of agricultural and educational policies formulated and implemented by the colonial governments during the nineteenth and half of the twentieth century. A study of any aspect of any colonial period reveals some disturbing realities that can be comprehended only in retrospect. The policy, contrary to the colonial government's, that …

Descent from Privilege
When I first arrived at the National Archives of Zimbabwe in July of 1984, I was flattered and even a little embarrassed by the cosseting I got just for being a visiting researcher. The Archives' staff took a personal interest in me that extended beyond research and into the realm of creature comfort. The daily routine had more in common with a spa than a work place: tea was put on for researchers every morning and afternoon in the Archives' back…
Zambian Crisis Behaviour
In this pioneering study Douglas Anglin describes and dissects the process of crisis decision making in Zambia through a detailed reconstruction of the most critical decisions of 1965-66, and assesses the effect of crisis-induced stress on the policy outcomes of President Kenneth Kaunda and other Zambian leaders. This case study of Zambian decision making is designed not merely to illuminate a Third World crisis of unusual interest and importance…

Individual Freedoms and State Security in the African Context
Peasants, businessmen, and moral economy in the Chiweshe reserve, colonial Zimbabwe, 1930-1968
In this paper we investigate how families in the Chiweshe Reserve expanded and transformed their discourse on ‘moral economy’ to try to accommodate the material changes — such as ox‐drawn ploughs and luxuries like bread and sugar — that came with colonialism. Through their discourse they worked at understanding the ‘proper’ relationships between rich and poor, among families, and within villages; the ‘moral economy’ was not an iron‐clad law. We t…
