What are the right questions to ask when seeking out the spirit of a nation?

In November 2017, the people of Zimbabwe took to the streets in an unprecedented alliance with the military. Their goal, to restore the legacy of Chimurenga, the liberation struggle, and wrest their country back from over thirty years of Robert Mugabe's rule.

In an essay that combines bold reportage, memoir and critical analysis, Zimbabwean novelist and journalist Panashe Chigumadzi reflects on the 'coup that was not a coup', the telling of history and manipulation of time and the ancestral spirits of two women — her own grandmother and Mbuya Nehanda, the grandmother of the nation.

'...an extraordinary and thrilling history of Zimbabwe.' — The Guardian
