Description
Focusing on the region of Southern Africa from the beginning of the 20th century on, this module explores issues related to the social, economic and political transformation of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in the 20th century. Guerrilla movements of South-Africa and Namibia will be considered, but the primary focus of the module will be on Zimbabwe due to the richness of its literature. This module will consider the roots of armed struggle in nationalist politics, the military backing and strategy of guerrilla movements, life in guerrilla camps, the complex interaction of armed guerrillas and civilians, and the legacies of violence.
