 On the anniversary of the military intervention that saw the end of Robert Mugabe’s 37 year rule, the Harvard University Center for African Studies hosts a robust engagement between Zimbabwean writers of opposing views who interrogate the history that culminated in one of the biggest political shakeups in generations through books that cut across the genres of memoir, cultural and political analysis, reportage, and fiction.
