  • A Crucial Watershed in Southern Rhodesian Politics
    A crucial watershed in Southern Rhodesian politics The 1961 Constitutional Process and the 1962 General Election E v e n t u e Högskolan på Gotlandll fi 2011 VTg ”Kandidatuppsats”u Författare: Jan Olssonr / Avdelningen för Historiab Handledare: Erik Tängerstadil d ( 1 F o r m a t Abstract The thesis examines the political development in Southern Rhodesia 1960-1962 when two processes, the 1961 Constitutional process and the 1962 General Election, had far- reaching consequences for the coming twenty years. It builds on a hypothesis that the Constitutional process led to a radicalisation of all groups, the white minority, the African majority and the colonial power. The main research question is why the ruling party, United Federal Party (UFP) after winning the referendum on a new Constitution with a wide margin could lose the ensuing election one year later to the party, Rhodesian Front (RF) opposing the constitution. The examination is based on material from debates in the Legal Assembly and House of Commons (UK), minutes of meetings, newspaper articles, election material etc. The hypothesis that the Constitutional process led to a radicalization of the main actors was partly confirmed. The process led to a focus on racial issues in the ensuing election. Among the white minority UFP attempted to develop a policy of continued white domination while making constitutional concessions to Africans in order to attract the African middle class. When UFP pressed on with multiracial structural reforms the electorate switched to the racist RF which was considered bearer of the dominant settler ideology. Among the African majority the well educated African middleclass who led the Nationalist movement, changed from multiracial reformists in late 1950‟s to majority rule advocates.

ZIMBABWE: AFRICAN WORKING CLASS NATIONALISM, 1957-1963 T. H. MOTHIBE Department of History, National University of Lesotho Abstract Scholars of Zimbabwean history have argued that organised African labour was subordinated to petit bourgeois nationalism. This article refutes these assessments and argues that, in the period between the formation of the first mass nationalist organisation and the adoption of the armed struggle, organised labour and nationalism were intimately connected, a fact that reflected in part the structural position of the African workers in a colonial society. This relationship was, however, disrupted by the adoption of armed struggle by the nationalists in 1963. THE YEAR 1957 marked a very important era in the history of Zimbabwe's nationalist struggle. This was manifested in the formation of the Southern Rhodesia African National Congress (SRANC) on September 12 (in defiance of what the settlers celebrated as Occupation Day). This was the first mass nationalist organisation. It also marked the beginning of a close alliance between organised African labour and African political parties in colonial Zimbabwe, an alliance that snapped with the split in the nationalist movement in 1963. The conventional assessment, however, has generally been that African labour came to be subordinated to the nationalist struggle with the formation of the SRANC.

  • 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.

RICHARDSON Professor oj International Affairs at Hamilton College, New York, now Visiting Professor of Political Science at the University College oj Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Administrator, United Nations Arab Refugee Camps, Gaza, 1949-^0. EVER since the Central African Federation was launched in 1953, the unacknowledged but chief task of all political parties has been to define ''partnership'' between the races. As defined in daily attitudes and practices, the word is slowly taking on a meaning which places the Federation far ahead of the Union in some aspects of racial affairs. As defined in law, it bears a meaning not very different from that of apartheid. As defined in the recent territorial elections in Southern Rhodesia, it will probably mean an even slower approach to the granting of African advance and opportunities than the slow approach that has existed to date. To understand these all-important elections, a piece of recent political history must be mentioned. In November of last year, the Federal Party under the Federal Prime Minister, Sir Roy Welensky, united with the United Rhodesia Party (U.R.P.) under the Southern Rhodesian Prime Minister, Mr. R. S. Garfield Todd, to form the United Federal Party (U.F.P.) At the time this seemed like the sensible beginning to a federa­ tion-wide ''middle of the road" party. However, trouble began almost immediately, since the newly "united" party contained within it men of vastly conflicting views towards the African problem. After the fusion had taken place, a group of political leaders led by Sir Patrick Fletcher and other members of the Cabinet, began to seek ways and means of ridding the party of Mr.

  • Southern Rhodesia Explodes
    63 SOUTHERN RHODESIA EXPLODES ENOCH DUMBUTSHENA Southern Rhodesian Journalist and Member of the National Democratic Party Two weeks after telling the settlers that "no one in Southern Rhodesia need be afraid that what has happened in the Congo could possibly happen here", the Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia, Sir Edgar Whitehead, called all able-bodied white men to join a new army reserve and a special constabulary. These will form new security forces to maintain peace and order, or, in other words, to suppress any future African riots. Sir Roy Welensky, Federal Prime Minister, has called upon Europeans to join the three European divisions of a new army inspired by the riots in the Congo. The Federal Government will spend an additional £3 million on this army and on equipment. None of the three territories of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland spends as much as £3 million on African education. Last year Southern Rhodesia spent only £2,641,000 on African education. It is interesting to note that Sir Roy's three white divisions were the first indication that the army is now being organized for the defence of white people against Africans in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Two years ago Sir Roy Welensky spoke of a "Boston Tea Party" should the Federation fail to get its independence; and it can be assumed that he meant by that the possibility of some settler rebellion against Great Britain. Now the army and the police, in the name of maintaining peace and order, will be used to keep the Africans down.
