Synopsis

Zimbabwe has witnessed an incredible amount of history in the relatively short span of years. The new edition of this dictionary updates the dictionary to keep it abreast of the changes in the country. Hundreds of fresh entries cover new political leaders, changing governmental, cultural, and economic developments, and scores of place name changes. There were also corrections to existing entries and an expanded bibliography.

Review

...an invaluable resource with good cross-referencing and an extensive bibliography. Certainly it is a book that students of Zimbabwe should possess. - Journal Of African History
