Crisis! What Crisis? : The Multiple Dimensions of the Zimbabwe Crisis Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Crisis! What Crisis! The Multiple Dimensions of the Zimbabwean Crisis argues that the Zimbabwean crisis is in fact a series of crises.

From infrastructural problems and disease to a depreciating currency and an increasing muscular militarism, the citizens of Zimbabwe have faced an ongoing struggle to survive.

The book explores the resilience of a people as they navigate the multiple challenges they face in the country of their birth.

In an inter-disciplinary approach, the authors of Crisis!

What Crisis! engage with issues as diverse as resource politics and livelihoods, migration and disembedment, language, and humour to demonstrate the ingenious ways in which citizens mediate the crisis.

Topically, the book explores how social media offers a subversive space that flies in the face of increasing restrictions placed on conventional media within Zimbabwe and the government’s aggressive efforts to suppress freedom of speech and spread their nationalist agenda.

The book concludes with a sobering reflection on the past and what the future might hold.
