About the Book

This book examines the triumphs and tribulations of the Zimbabwean national project, providing a radical and critical analysis of the fossilisation of Zimbabwean nationalism against the wider context of African nationalism in general. The book departs radically from the common 'praise-texts' in seriously engaging with the darker aspects of nationalism, including its failure to create the nation-as-people, and to install democracy and a culture of human rights. The author examines how the various people inhabiting the lands between the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers entered history and how violence became a central aspect of the national project of organising Zimbabweans into a collectivity in pursuit of a political end.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Deconstructing the National Project - Nationalism and its Moments - National Identity and Common Citizenship - A Nation within a Nation - Violence and Impunity - Mugabeism as Nationalism - Endgame or Elite Transition?
