Fighting and Writing: the Rhodesian Army at War and Post-War

Professor Luise White was awarded a Publication Subvention Grant to support her book, Fighting and Writing: the Rhodesian Army at War and Post-War published by Duke University Press in 2021. The book is an episodic history of white soldiers fighting to preserve majority rule in Zimbabwe. Based on archives, interviews and most of all the memoirs these soldiers later wrote, this book addresses the place of race and its meaning for belonging to a colony and a nation.
