Synopsis
With this book, Matshazi embarks on a tightly written political history of the 20 years of Mugabe’s deteriorating reign in Zimbabwe. There has been a veritable flood of literature of all kinds during the latest ‘land grab’, but relatively little of it from native Zimbabweans of Matshazi’s pedigree (which is to say, other than by displaced white people, who can always be conveniently accused of some form of disgruntled racism). But as Matshazi shows incontrovertibly, Muagbe’s main war has been against ‘dissenting’ black inhabitants of Zimbabwe.
