More importantly, it is a pertinent\u003cbr\u003epolemic against the 'petty bourgeois' leadership of what was then the struggle\u003cbr\u003eagainst Rhodesian settler rule, and is now the Zimbabwean state. Unfortunately,\u003cbr\u003eAstrow's book fails on the latter, crucial, count. The petty bourgeoisie is blamed for\u003cbr\u003ethe betrayal of Zimbabwe's masses, but never analysed with any clarity.\u003cbr\u003eThe fundamental flaw in Astrow's book is shared by other 'workerist'\u003cbr\u003eperspectives on national liberation (see Davies \u0026amp; O'Meara in ROAPE 29 for a\u003cbr\u003ecritique), the post-colonial state and petty bourgeois politicians. Such stances are\u003cbr\u003estrangely contradictory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good, pages yellowed \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bridge Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47283353583874,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1160\/4950\/files\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-24_at_14.37.00_1.jpg?v=1769258490","url":"https:\/\/bridgebooks.co.za\/products\/zimbabwe-a-revolution-that-lost-its-way-by-andre-astrow-used","provider":"Bridge Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
