Bøger om Zimbabwe

Med sin baggrund fra 40 års udviklingsarbejde i Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, FN og Dansk Institut for Partier og Demokrati, og med udstationeringer i bl.a. Zimbabwe og Botswana, samt en ballast som forfatter til mere end 30 bøger om udvikling, skrevet til børn, unge og voksne, besluttede Bjørn Førde at rejse 4.500 km gennem Zimbabwe for uanmeldt at opsøge nogle af de lokalsamfund, organisationer og mennesker, som han 25 år tidligere havde arbejdet tæt sammen med. Han ville se, hvad der stod tilbage, og han ville snakke med nogle af de lokale, som havde deltaget i arbejdet et kvart århundrede tidligere – eller som havde mødt projektet, efter at danskerne var rejst hjem. Tilbage i Danmark opsøgte han tidligere udsendte, som ikke havde været tilbage siden dengang, og lyttede til de visioner, håb og drømme, de blev drevet af, da de rejste ud.Bogen om alt dette er en rutsjebanetur gennem et Zimbabwe, som også plages af stor korruption og et autoritært og undertrykkende politiske styre, som ikke giver udviklingssamarbejdet gode vilkår. Noget er alligevel lykkedes, på trods af alle forhindringer, men det gælder langtfra alt. Ofte er det kun lykkedes, fordi stærke lokale personligheder har kæmpet for det.Bogen fremstår også som en stærk personlig bekendelse til nødvendigheden af det direkte kultur- og menneskemøde for at sikre, at vi også i fremtiden har en fælles klode. Forestillingen om, at lande og mennesker kan klare sig alene, er ikke brugbar, uanset hvad vi måtte mene om den globalisering, vi har oplevet i de foregående årtier.

This book approaches perceptions of Robert Gabriel Mugabe within Zimbabwe and beyond during his period in power and towards the end of his time in government.The book examines how Mugabe became the focus of a thriving personality cult, studying the argument that Mugabe could be regarded as the founder of a new religious movement in Zimbabwe and the Global South. The contributors analyse the use of ideology and mythology in promoting Mugabe's hegemony in Zimbabwe, looking at the appropriation of religious ideas by the Mugabe government and the impact this had on perceptions of Mugabe both within Zimbabwe and beyond. Focusing on the final years of Mugabe's rule, the chapters provide new insights into how different actors, including politicians, African Traditional Religions, African Independent/Initiated Churches, Pentecostal churches, the media and others deployed religious idioms to support or critique Mugabe at a time when his tenure was coming under serious threat.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Southern African politics and religion.

This book explores religion-regime relations in contemporary Zimbabwe to identify patterns of co-operation and resistance across diverse religious institutions.Using co-operation and resistance as an analytical framework, the book shows how different religious organisations have interacted with Emmerson Mnangagwa's "Second Republic", following Robert Mugabe's departure from the political scene. In particular, through case studies on the Zimbabwe Council of Churches, Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference and Pentecostals, African Traditional Religions, Islam, and others, the book explores how different religious institutions have responded to Mnangagwa's new regime. Chapters highlight the complexities characterising the religion-regime interface, showing how the same religious organisation might co-operate and resist at the same time. Furthermore, the book compares how religious institutions co-operated or resisted Mugabe's earlier regime to identify patterns of continuity and change. Overall, the book highlights the challenges of deploying simplistic frames in efforts to understand the interface between politics and religion.A significant contribution to global scholarship on religion-regime interfaces, this book will appeal to academics and students in the field of Religious Studies, Political Science, History and African Studies

A reflection on family roots in England, Germany and the first years of growing up in southern Africa during the troubled 1970s' in Rhodesia. Followed by a challenging new beginning in Europe, learning to overcome insecurity and finding strength and identity with subculture music and underground scenes.

In this highly original book, Obert Bernard Mlambo offers a comparative and critical examination of the relationship between military veterans and land expropriation in the client-army of the first-century BC Roman Republic and veterans of the Zimbabwean liberation war. The study centres on the body of the soldier, the cultural production of images and representations of gender which advance theoretical discussions around war, masculinity and violence. Mlambo employs a transcultural comparative approach based on a persistent factor found in both societies: land expropriation. Often articulated in a framework of patriarchy, land appropriation takes place in the context of war-shaped masculinities.This book fosters a deeper understanding of social processes, adding an important new perspective to the study of military violence, and paying attention to veterans' claims for rewards and compensation. These claims are developed in the context of war and its direct consequences, namely expropriation, confiscation and violence. Land Expropriation in Ancient Rome and Contemporary Zimbabwe contributes to current efforts to decolonise knowledge construction by revealing that a non-Western perspective can broaden our understanding of veterans, war, violence, land and gender in classical culture.

This book is a stepping stone toward solving public sector human capital challenges in Zimbabwe as it equips human capital managers with solutions to key issues in the public sector. In Zimbabwe, the public sector human capital drives the economy as over half of the population access their services through public enterprises. Government is the major agent in economic and infrastructure development as well as the production of goods and services. However, Zimbabwe's public service is underperforming due to poorly motivated and managed employees who do not respond to the needs of its clients. This is a cause of concern as the public sector human capital is central to the overall performance of the public sector. Often public sector managers and leaders lack advanced, relevant, and dynamic skills and knowledge to deal with human resource challenges within the New Public Management environment. It is critical for the public sector to transform its human resource management to suit twenty-first-century needs. Effective human resource management in the public sector leads to economic growth and therefore the achievement of the Zimbabwe National Vision 2030.  nbsp; Therefore, this book serves as a guide for public sector managers and those directly or indirectly involved in human capital management. It provides in-depth knowledge and guidance in effective human capital management within the context of the public sector in Zimbabwe.
