DEGREES IN VIOLENCE
Robert Mugabe and the Struggle for Power in Zimbabwe
The author, a Daily Telegraph journalist, 'tells the story of Zimbabwe from
the hopeful era of independence to the present reality of farm invasions,
food riots, fuel queues and a terror campaign waged by Mugabe's supporters.
From white farmers who live as if the colonial era had never ended, to a paranoid
government and its often inept opponents, Blair exposes the wilfulness and
folly that lie behind the crisis in Zimbabwe.' Notes, index. CONTINUUM, 0826459749

ZIMBABWE'S PLUNGE
No matter who wins the 2002 elections, Zimbabwe must confront contradictions
that bedevil both nationalists and neo-liberals. An alternative political
project is sketched out, drawing upon the Zimbabwean people's own struggles
for social justice. These lessons are relevant, to many other societies in
turmoil. This book makes international comparisons, and applies great analytical
depth to this country's politics. Four appendices provide current seminal
economic texts from the ruling party, the MDC, the National Working People's
Convention and Jubilee South.
Contents: Preface - Chapter 1: A History Of Uneven Development Chapter 2:
Economic Constraints Chapter 3 Political Constraints- Chapter 4: Globalisation's
