This book is the first to look closely at the histories and lived experiences of these political detainees and prisoners, showing how they challenged and negotiated their incarceration.

Review

Prisoners of Rhodesia is the first academic book-length study on the topical subject of political imprisonment in Zimbabwe. It is based on extensive and superb empirical historical research, combining archival and oral sources. - Professor Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni
