Buch, Englisch, 245 Seiten

The book is a patchwork of both published articles and other pieces of literary works drawn from similar-minded proactive Zimbabweans. The book would be of interest to students of public administration as well as researchers within the fringes of political science and public policy studies. Human Rights and Civil Society as well as youth activists would benefit from the deliberations in the book as the book seeks to divulge the events and developments that have created the current state of affairs in Zimbabwe. Readers from other countries sharing similar history and even geopolitical positions as Zimbabwe can draw interest from the occurrences as they are divulged in the book.
