Chapter 1 in Technology and Skills in Zimbabwe’s Manufacturing, 2000, pp 3-17 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Zimbabwe’s historical background, particularly its settler and Southern Rhodesian past, affects its present economic performance. Key features of its recent history of particular relevance to industrialization and technological development are examined below, distinguishing three main periods: (i) the colony, (ii) the interval following the ‘unilateral declaration of independence’ (UDI), and (iii) the stretch after the final declaration of independence.
