This work seeks to understand the state, nation and political identities that are being forged in modern Zimbabwe, and the nature of control that Robert Mugabe's ZANU exercises over those political institutions. Focusing on the perspective and experiences of societal groups including NGOs, churches, trade unions, students and academics the text explores how the construction of consent, threat of coercion and material resources are used to integrate social groups into the ruling nationalist coalition, but also how they resist and frame competing discourses and institutions

[N]ationalism in much of Africa continues to manifest itself in a struggle for control of the state where political institutions are unable to accommodate pressures for representation.

Nationalism in Africa is often dismissed as artificial-not reflecting 'real' nations, or, more cynically, organized by political elites solely to achieve and maintain power. Because of this presumed artificiality of national ties, at independence new states were seen as unlikely to survive, and cases of state collapse have been interpreted as proof that cynicism was merited. Yet nationalism continues to be politically important in Africa, perhaps more than ever. It reverberates through elections, civil wars, and interstate wars, as well as literature, music, and theater. Although linked in complex ways to state forms, it is also contested. And it is in this contestation and reframing of national identity that we see nationalism's significance. The resilience of nationalism in Africa has gone hand in hand with the resilience of states. Despite their artificiality, Africa's borders have proved remarkably durable since decolonization-there have been few border changes and even fewer conflicts over borders. Adapted from the source document.
