Soldiers and the State in Zimbabwe available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book explores the barrack experiences of soldiers in post-independence Zimbabwe, examining the concept of military professionalism within a state in political crisis. Drawing upon interviews with former soldiers of the Zimbabwe National Army, Soldiers and the State in Zimbabwe casts a light on the oppression of soldiers by commanders who sought to repress and control the political thinking of their men. By contextualising the political, economic and material conditions in which Zimbabwean soldiers existed, Godfrey Maringira reveals the everyday victimisation and violence of the barracks. Exploring such events as the imposition of the Defence Act, the desertion of soldiers, and the 2017 military coup in Zimbabwe, the book presents and discusses the politicised nature of the military in post-independence Zimbabwe, and the political consequences of service in a state in deep political crisis. Soldiers and the State in Zimbabwe will be of interest to scholars and students of African Politics, military and security studies, and African studies.

Download and read online ebook Zimbabwe's Predatory State write by Jabusile M. Shumba. This book was released on 2018. Zimbabwe's Predatory State available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. By the dawn of independence in 1980, Zimbabwe had one of the most structurally developed economies and state systems in Africa, and was classified as a middle-income country. In 1980, Zimbabwe's GDP per capita was almost equal to that of China. More than 30 years later, Zimbabwe had regressed to a low-income country with a GDP per capita among the lowest in the world. With these dark economic conditions, discussions concerning structural problems of a country once cited as Africa's best potential have been reignited. Shumba analyzes the ruling elite, modes of accumulation across key economic sectors, and implications for development outcomes. The book raises some pressing questions in search of answers. If Zimbabwe was the golden darling after independence, why did this happen? Was it inevitable? What were the crucial choices made that led to it? Did the ruling elite know that their choices would lead to Zimbabwe's developmental decline? *** "Zimbabwe's tragic story illustrates the anatomy of a predatory state; neither developmental nor failed, it survives its own contradictory impulses mainly through dominance and violence. Recommended." --Michael Bratton, University Distinguished Professor, Michigan State University *** "This book will be valuable, not just to scholars of southern Africa, but to scholars around the world who are trying to understand how predatory states persist and what might be done about it." --Peter B. Evans, Senior Fellow, Watson Institute, Brown University, and Professor Emeritus, Sociology Dept, University of California *** "[This book] prises open the 'black box' of Zimbabwe's politics to explain how the country ticks and how the regime tricks. A captivating read." --Eldred V. Masunungure, University of Zimbabwe, and Executive Director of the Mass Public Opinion Institute. Revised Dissertation.
