Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The height of colonial rule on the African continent saw two prominent religious leaders step to the fore: Desmond Tutu in South Africa, and Abel Muzorewa in Zimbabwe. Both Tutu and Muzorewa believed that Africans could govern their own nations responsibly and effectively if only they were given the opportunity. In expressing their religious views about the need for social justice each man borrowed from national traditions that had shaped policy of earlier church leaders. Tutu and Muzorewa argued that the political development of Africans was essential to the security of the white settlers and that whites should seek the promotion of political development of Africans as a condition of that future security. Desmond Tutu and Abel Muzorewa were both motivated by strong religious principles. They disregarded the possible personal repercussions that they might suffer as a result of their efforts to alter the fundamental bases of their colonial governments. Each man hoped to create a new national climate in which blacks and whites could cooperate to build a new nation. Each played a part in eventual independence for Zimbabwe in 1980 and for South Africa in 1994. Mungazi's examination of their efforts reveals how individuals with strong convictions can make a difference in shaping the future of their nations.

Download or read book The Last British Liberals in Africa written by Dickson Mungazi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-05-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the clash of two traditions, British liberalism and African nationalism, and an examination of how Michael Blundell in Kenya and Garfield Todd in Zimbabwe used their liberal backgrounds to further the future of their adopted countries, despite threats and detention. Both Blundell and Todd believed that political leaders had a responsibility to serve the needs of the people as a condition of national development. By the time each came to power, European colonization had had a profoundly negative effect on the lives of Africans; Blundell and Todd sought to correct this by putting their positive views of Africans into practice. While colonial governments designed strategies for controlling Africans to serve political and economic interests at home in Europe, Africans themselves established their own effective strategy, not only to ensure their survival in the colonial setting, but also to initiate a process for the restoration of their sense of self. Michael Blundell and Garfield Todd, with their liberal beliefs, served as excellent allies in this period of a rising African consciousness. Using sources obtained in Kenya and Zimbabwe over the past 15 years, this work examines democratic traditions that have survived tumultuous times in recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1965, Ian Smith's white minority government in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) made a unilateral declaration of independence, breaking with Great Britain. With a European population of a few hundred thousand dominating an African majority of several million, Rhodesia's racial structure echoed the apartheid of neighboring South Africa. Smith's declaration sparked an escalating guerrilla war that claimed thousands of lives. Across the Atlantic, President Lyndon B. Johnson nervously watched events in Rhodesia, fearing that racial conflict abroad could inflame racial discord at home. Although Washington officially voiced concerns over human rights violations, an attitude of tolerance generally marked U.S. relations with the Rhodesian government: sanctions were imposed but not strictly enforced, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of American mercenaries joined white Rhodesia's side in battle with little to fear from U.S. laws. Despite such tacit U.S. support, Smith's regime fell in 1980, and the independent state of Zimbabwe was born. The first comprehensive account of American involvement in the war against Zimbabwe, this compelling work also explores how our relationship with Rhodesia helped define interracial dynamics in the United States, and vice versa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study describes missionary activity in Matabeleland in the context of traditional life as well as black and white relation¬ships in Southern Africa in general and in Rhodesia in particular between 1859 and 1923. In the nineteenth century there was some cultural fusion of the Ndebele and the Shona, giving the former a strong basis to resist Christianity. But the personal relationship of Mzilikazi with Robert Moffat, the fear of the British and the desire for western material benefits induced the Ndebele to accept only a few missionaries into their country. The Shona on the other hand wanted only guns from the missionaries to resist Ndebele domination. The failure of the missionaries to realise many converts drove them into becoming advocates of European rule and of the destruction of Ndebele state. Their fervent support for Rhodes and white settle-ment generated an anti-missionary attitude, which, however, must be understood in terms of Ndebele politics during the scramble. The Ndebele were divided between factions wanting peaceful European penetration and the conservatives calling for violent means of excluding the whites. The advent of the settlers and white government solved as well as produced many problems for the missionaries. The fabric of the Ndebele traditional society was greatly impaired, generating a marked need to come to terms with western civilization. These favourable conditions attracted many more missions. But the new white rulers proved lukewarm to the missionaries, grudgingly giving them financial assistance. Yet, with this meagre support, the missionaries laid the foundations of African education in Rhodesia. Evangelically, they met spectacular success among the young people; the old people generally refused to change their ways.
