All too often the story of how Rhodesia became Zimbabwe is told as a struggle in one country that ends in majority rule. This collection contests that with a multi-sited history in which no single nation’s aspirations or actions stand alone but are in vigorous dialogue with the decolonizing world. * Luise White, Professor Emerita, University of Florida, USA * The aftershocks of Rhodesia’s ill-fated unilateral declaration of independence continue to shape political dynamics in Zimbabwe, southern Africa, and the West. The dynamic accounts presented here enrich our understanding of the complex geopolitical dimensions through which Rhodesia's traumatic resistance against decolonization unfolded in the 1960s and 70s. * Brooks Marmon, Research Associate, University of Pretoria, South Africa *
