Allowing the dust to settle after Mugabe's decades of misrule, Zvomuya goes far beyond the easy stereotype of 'African nationalist who went from liberator to dictator', creating a complex portrait of a man who was always the outsider as a young man, a leader of a revolutionary movement and as president of his country. The curious figure of the black Victorian emerges as Mugabe's fascinating contradictions are exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author is highly critical of Mugabe and how he oversaw the devastating decline of Zimbabwe, but the reader will come away with a far richer understanding of the country and its people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZvomuya has created a beautifully written and intimate portrait which is suffused with a deep cultural understanding of Mugabe and his times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Percy Zvomuya\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat: Trade paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50952587378946,"sku":"9781776195497","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1160\/4950\/files\/library-19B682AA-9BB6-4199-934C-F000B9C1B9D3-L0-001.jpg?v=1793700197","url":"https:\/\/bridgebooks.co.za\/products\/9781776195497","provider":"Bridge Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
