This unique anthology of Zimbabwean Township histories comprises the stories of men who grew up in Rhodesia prior to Independence and in Zimbabwe post-1980. The contributors reflect on their childhoods with refreshing candour. Many of their memories retain the crystalline clarity of childhood, and thus
provide insights into worlds that have often remained unexplored. Behind these men stood dedicated, parents who were determined that their children succeed even when faced with segregation and racism. The Anthology also provides an insight into post-independent Zimbabwe and how the contributors built themselves in a country which provided both opportunities and challenges.
