| Summary: | This thesis is an analysis of African Nationalism in Zimbabwe, from 1920 to 1965. This period is significant to the overall study of African Nationalism in Zimbabwe due to the fact that it marks the beginning of organized mass African protest against a European government, and the end of non-violent tactics in favor of armed struggle for the obtainment of African Nationalism. The First Chapter is a review of literature on African Nationalism in Zimbabwe. The Second Chapter is an overview of the establishment of settler rule and early forms of African resistence. Chapter Three examines African political parties and the reasons for their formation. The next Chapter discusses the shortcomings of African Nationalism due to government suppression of organized African mass protest and hence the frustration of African Nationalist leaders. The conclusion discusses the agencies of change used by African Nationalists and suggests that they were not sufficient for the achievement of national, political and economic independence. |
