  • A Biographical Study of Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge 1907 – 2008
    ABSTRACT Toward a New Church in a New Africa: A Biographical Study of Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge 1907 – 2008 This biography of a Methodist Bishop, Ralph Edward Dodge is an extensive look into how, as a missionary, mission board executive, and bishop, Dodge applied principles of indigenization he embraced as a young man preparing for missionary work to the complexities of ministry in Southern Africa when empires were withdrawing and new nations were forming. Written by an African, the dissertation examines Dodge’s impact upon the several countries in which he was involved as a churchman ‒ countries that would soon move from imperial subjugation to independence. Ralph Edward Dodge (1907–2008) was an American missionary and Bishop of the Methodist Church and United Methodist Church. He was born in Iowa and went to Africa in 1936 at age 29. He began his missionary career in the Portuguese colony of Angola. Except for four years during World War II, he would serve there until 1950. During the war, he continued his postgraduate work, obtaining two more degrees, including a PhD. Afterwards, Dodge and his family returned to Africa. In 1950, he was asked to serve as Executive Secretary for Africa and Europe at the Methodist Church’s Board of Missions in New York. Six years later, the Reverend Doctor Dodge would return to Africa as Bishop Dodge, the first Methodist Bishop elected by the Africa Central Conference, and the only American. His Episcopal Area included the colonial territories of Angola, Mozambique, and Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). When his twelve-year term was ended, he was elected “Bishop for Life.” Bishop Dodge remained in Africa until his “retirement” in 1968.

  • Race, Identity, and Belonging in Early Zimbabwean Nationalism(S), 1957-1965
    Race, Identity, and Belonging in Early Zimbabwean Nationalism(s), 1957-1965 Joshua Pritchard This thesis interrogates traditional understandings of race within Zimbabwean nationalism. It explores the interactions between socio-cultural identities and belonging in black African nationalist thinking and politics, and focuses on the formative decade between the emergence of mass African nationalist political parties in 1957 and the widespread adoption of an anti- white violent struggle in 1966. It reassesses the place of non-black individuals within African anti-settler movements. Using the chronological narrative provided by the experiences of marginal non-black supporters (including white, Asian, coloured, and Indian individuals), it argues that anti-colonial nationalist organisations during the pre-Liberation War period were heavily influenced by the competing racial theories and politics espoused by their elite leadership. It further argues that the imagined future Zimbabwean nations had a fluid and reflexive positioning of citizens based on racial identities that changed continuously. Finally, this thesis examines the construction of racial identities through the discourse used by black Zimbabweans and non-black migrants and citizens, and the relationships between these groups, to contend that race was an inexorable factor in determining belonging. Drawing upon archival sources created by non-black 'radical' participants and Zimbabwean nationalists, and oral interviews conducted during fieldwork in South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2015, the research is a revisionist approach to existing academic literature on Zimbabwean nationalism: in the words of Terence Ranger, it is not a nationalist history but a history of nationalism. It situates itself within multiple bodies of study, including conceptual nationalist and racial theory, the histories of marginal groups within African nationalist movements, and studies of citizenship and belonging.

The white minority numbers less than 280,000 in a population of over 6 million, but it is a minority determined to maintain its power and privilege as long as possible. History, for the white minority, begins with the aggressive expansionism of Cecil Rhodes. His central role in the work of British colonial occupation at the end of the 19th century is reflected in the naming of both Northern Rhodesia (now independent Zambia) and Southern Rhodesia in his honor. The attitude of most white settlers toward African history prior to white occupation is accurately summed up by the white Rhodesian who told a New York Times reporter: "The African has no past, very little present without white or yellow help, and no future of his own." Rhodesian settlers use this argument to justify the history of white minority rule, to explain the present repression of Africans and to project continued white rule into the future.

    DRAFT – Please do not quote or cite without author’s permission. Dr Zoë R Groves Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Humanities, Wit Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER), University of the Witwatersrand Email: [email protected] Transnational Migration and Pan-African Solidarity: the case of the Central African Federation, 1953-19631 Abstract The Federation of Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland was declared in 1953, linking the three territories of central Africa politically and economically. The decision went against the wishes of the African majority, particularly in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia, where Federation was viewed as an opportunity to extend white settler domination north of the Zambezi. The territories had a history of close association prior to 1953, connected by flows of migrant labour to the urban and industrial economies of the south. Anti-federation sentiment served to unite African political interests in central Africa in the 1950s, bringing about a moment of Pan-African solidarity between the African Congress parties that has remained largely unexplored by historians. This paper inquires into transnational political networks and highlights the influence of ‘northern’ nationalists on African politics during the Federation period. This study complicates the nationalist histories of central Africa and contributes to research on Pan-Africanism, African diasporas, and the impact of cross border mobility on central African politics.

The recent announcement by the blood-thirsty colonial regine of Smith, that no one is allowed to visit the place where our leader Mr. Nkono is restricted, leaves us in a Lgloon of doubt for his personal safity more especially that the place is so rerote and greatly lion-infested. In the pubs and beerhalls, in the schools and in the streets around the teeming townships of Salisbury, Gatbona, Quo Quo, Gwelo, Fort Victoria, Gwanda Untali and Dulawayo, and in all rural areas and reserves, the rasses' patience is greatly exhausted, and every talk is centred on Mr. Hkono's safety. The "no-visitors" announcenent by the bonny-haad and pendulous-nosed Dupont and his murderous progeny is causing disesteen and !increasing suspicion as to why the people's leader, Joshua !Tkono should be kept hidden by the settlers regime of Smith. What heightens the fears witpii. the ,aseo, s the recent Rhodesian Front Govern:lentts statement that the restriction area is not fenced, and that lkomo lives apart from the other restrictees. The area is near the Portuguese border, lions and elephants are known to roan in the neighbouring bush. Hoif one poses a question: "Is our leader still there?"

    Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies (SERSAS) Fall Meeting 27-28 October 20 00 University of Tennessee, Kn oxville Tennessee, USA Whites in Zimbabwe and Rhodesia: Hapana Mutsauko Here. Is it the same difference? David Leaver Raymond Walters C ollege University of Cincinnati Quote with Permission from [email protected] Copyright © 2001 by David Leaver All Rights Reserved There is no intention on our part to use our majority to victimize the minority. We will ensure there is a place for everyone in this country. We want to ensure a sense of security for both winners and losers. (Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's new Prime Minister, election night 1980) If the new millennium, like the last . remains the age of the master race, of the master economy and the master state, then I am afraid we in developing countries will have to stand up and say: "Not again". (Robert Mugabe, July 2000 Millennium summit).[1] In an effort to incite popular support once enjoyed after Zimbabwe's liberation struggle (1962-1980), President Robert Mugabe, as victor over white supremacy, today denounces his country's tiny white minority for racial privilege and supposed alien loyalties.[2] Until the mid-1990s, while he pursued national reconciliation after bloody civil war, Mugabe enjoyed respect abroad and popular support at home. Then at the polls his Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) was twice rejected, especially by urban 'born frees', younger voters lacking experience of the liberation struggle. Rejection came as a 'no' vote in a February 2000 constitutional referendum to approve uncompensated confiscation of white commercial farms.
