Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brutal State of Affairs analyses the transition from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe and challenges Rhodesian mythology. The story of the BSAP, where white and black officers were forced into a situation not of their own making, is critically examined. The liberation war in Rhodesia might never have happened but for the ascendency of the Rhodesian Front, prevailing racist attitudes, and the rise of white nationalists who thought their cause just. Blinded by nationalist fervour and the reassuring words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and army commanders, the Smith government disregarded the advice of its intelligence services to reach a settlement before it was too late. By 1979, the Rhodesians were staring into the abyss, and the war was drawing to a close. Salisbury was virtually encircled, and guerrilla numbers continued to grow. A Brutal State of Affairs examines the Rhodesian legacy, the remarkable parallels of history, and suggests that Smiths Rhodesian template for rule has, in many instances, been assiduously applied by Mugabe and his successors.

Excerpt: ... vm administra tion The scheme which has now been adopted for the administration of Matabeleland, though criticised as faulty in some of its details, has met with a general approval in South Africa. It was at first feared, and not without reason, that a Crown Colony would be established here; but Her Majesty's Government, bearing in mind that Matabeleland as well as Mashonaland is included within the region described in the Charter as the principal field of the operations of the British South Africa Company, that the concessions held by the Company are applicable to the whole of Lobengula's territory, and that the recent war had been principally carried on at the expense of the Company, decided that it would be right to place Matabeleland under the direct administration of the Company, and that the Company's machinery for government which was at work in Mashonaland should be extended with certain modifications to the newly acquired country. The Company was to be left to govern the entire territory; but in order that the rights of the natives might be safeguarded, the Imperial Government was to be vested with a somewhat fuller control over the Company than heretofore. The day will no doubt come when a representative form of government will prevail in Ehodesia. An agitation for an extension of local self-government in the townships has already commenced, and the settlers have also petitioned that one member of the Administrative Council, recently created by the Imperial Government, should be elected by ballot by the residents of the country. To accede to this desire, which is by no means general, but is rather the whim of certain busybodies, is out of the question at this early stage of the country's development, and to hold a general...

Download or read book Rhodes and Rhodesia written by Arthur Keppel-Jones and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1983-11-01 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British South Africa Company and the irregularity of its financial and political operations are dealt with in detail. Keppel-Jones also discusses the development in the midst of the indigenous population of an alien white society and state, from their crude beginnings to their emergence in a form still recognizable today. The reader is led to conclude that by 1902 Southern Rhodesia was already set on the road that would lead to the upheavals of the second half of the twentieth-century. The author examines the racial consciousness and prejudice of the white society and addresses an important question: why did the imperial government grant a royal charter to the BSA Company? The facts show conclusively that the imperial government had little interest in Central Africa or care for its fate except when foreign competition appeared. Keppel-Jones also reveals the important role played by black troops employed by the Company in suppressing the rebellions of 1896-7. For opposite reasons, neither blacks nor whites have been willing to recognize this; on the other hand the habit of the 'men-on-the-spot' of making and carrying out decisions without regard to their superiors in London is a commonplace of imperial history. One of the main themes of the book is the tension between the unofficial imperialists, straining at the leash, and the Colonial Office, struggling to hold them back. Rhodes and Rhodesia is based on extensive use of public records, mainly in the Public Record Office, London, and the National Archives of Zimbabwe, of collections of private papers, and of contemporary published works.

Book excerpt: A perfect digitally-restored copy of a Rhodesian government-endorsed publication issued on the 75th anniversary of that nation in 1965 and is the only official history of Rhodesia ever published which provides an overview of events from the time of the 1890 "Pioneer Columns" to just before the world-famous "Unilateral Declaration of Independence" in 1965. Starting with an introduction by the Prime Minister, Ian Smith, the book then discusses in detail the founding of the country, the struggle with the Shona rebellion, the later political developments (including the abortive federation with Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland (today Zambia and Malawi), and includes the first portend of the soon-to-come independence issue. Significantly, the book ends with an appeal for more white immigrants to bolster and grow that sector of the population. This is an exact reproduction of the original, and also includes all its advertisements, many of which are as instructive and rare as the publication itself (such as those from many well-known international companies, and a full-page advertisement taken out by the country's ruling Rhodesian Front party).
