Zimbabwean Communities in Britain: Imperial and Post-Colonial Identities and Legacies

Autor Christopher Roy Zembe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 mai 2018
This book examines why Zimbabwean immigrants in Britain should be viewed as a product of ethno-racial identities and prejudices developed and nurtured during the colonial and post-colonial phases of Zimbabwe’s history. In the absence of shared historic socio-economic or cultural commonalities, the book will tackle the key question: ‘Are Zimbabweans in Britain demarcated by race and ethnicity an imagined community?’ Through an analysis of personal interviews, and secondary and primary sources, it identifies and engages historical experiences that had been instrumental in constructing diasporic identities and integration processes of Zimbabwean immigrants. With most literature tending to create perceptions that Zimbabwean immigrants are a monolithic community of Blacks, the book’s comparative analysis of Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Asians unveils a multi-racial community fragmented by historic racial and ethnic allegiances and prejudices. It is essential reading for scholarsand researchers interested in migration, African Diaspora, and colonial and post-colonial studies.

Caracteristici

Using Zimbabwean communities in Britain as a case study, this book explores how imperial and post-colonial history has shaped and continues to shape African immigrant communities Analyses why attempts to create a unified diaspora identity by some African immigrant communities proved to be an emotive process which could not conceal historic ethnic or racial tensions and prejudices Highlights the increasing diversity of African immigrants in Britain, focusing on the dynamics and differences even within the relatively small Zimbabwean community
