  • Scans of ZAPU’s ‘Zimbabwe Review’ (1974-78)
    During the war of national liberation in Zimbabwe, there were two main organisations that led the struggle. One was Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), which was supported by China and North Korea.

The two incidents were a pivotal moment for the emergent anti-fascist movement in Britain. Below is based on a passage from my forthcoming manuscript on […]
