Publisher's Note Offering a unique perspective on the continuing impact of colonialism in Africa, this historical study examines an educational program established in the 1930s by the British colonial government of Rhodesia, whose purpose was to create and maintain a vast pool of cheap unskilled labor and confine the African population to tribal settings. Mungazi assesses the resulting educational and economic disabilities suffered by the African population and the consequences of their long exclusion from playing an effective role in the affairs of their country.
