Economic and Social History of Zimbabwe, 1890-1948 : Capital Accumulation and Class Struggle: First – Ian Phimister

Description

This book examines the main external and internal forces which shaped the economic and social history of Zimbabwe during the first sixty years of colonial rule. Ian Phimister traces the process of capital accumulation from merchant and speculative origins towards the end of the nineteenth century through to the development of a comparatively sophisticated industrial sector by the start of the 1950’s. This is the first general economic and social history of Zimbabwe. It covers a period of great importance in the history of both Southern Africa and Britain as a colonial power. It will be essential reading for all serious students and teachers of African economic and social history and the political history of Southern Africa…..
