W. Lardaer-Burke. Speaking to the second reading in Parliament to the Law and Order (Maintenance) Amendment Bill, he said that as the security position changed so must the legislation. The security position was strengthening from day to day-mainly thanks to the efficiency of the security forces, the co-operation of the jndigenous population and the wise application of the emergency powers.

Thompson, THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS Thousands of African men, women, and children worked on European- owned tobacco farms in colonial Zimbabwe from 1890 to 1945. Con- trary to some commonly held notions, these people were not mere bystanders as European capitalism penetrated into Zimbabwe, but helped to shape the work and the living conditions they encountered as they entered wage employment. Steven Rubert’s fine study draws on a rich variety of sources to il- a most promising weed luminate the lives of these workers. First he provides a brief history of tobacco growing in Zimbabwe, then examines the capitalization and a most promising weed physical layout of tobacco farms, the labor process on those farms, and the daily and seasonal forms of discipline European farmers de- veloped in their attempts to control the lives of their African workers. The central focus of the study is the organization of workers’ com- pounds, the social relationships there, and the labor of women and children, paid and unpaid.

    1953-1978 SPECIAL ISSUE TO MARK THE SIL VER JUBILEE ,_,,, . .,.....__ - OF THE SOCIETY MAY 1978 THOMAS MEIKLE, 1862-1939 The founder of the Meikle Organisation sailed from Scotland with his parents in 1869. The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whisky cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.

Doctoral Dissertations. 2342. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/2342 From King Solomon to Ian Smith: Rhodesian Alternate Histories of Zimbabwe Edward Paul Guimont, PhD University of Connecticut, 2019 In the eleventh century CE, the Shona people of Central Africa built the city of Great Zimbabwe, an administrative center and royal home. Connected to the Indian Ocean gold trade, it would become the largest pre-colonial city in sub-Saharan Africa. However, due to environmental factors, it entered into decline and was ultimately abandoned by the start of the sixteenth century – the period in which the first Portuguese expeditions crossed the Cape of Good Hope and came in contact with the region. The fact that this city entered into decline just as Europeans encountered it set it up to become the center of a number of fantastical legends about its origins, typically linking it with the Biblical King Solomon and his gold mine of Ophir. Most prior studies of the “foreign builder hypothesis” have simply focused on the fact that white supremacist ideologies of colonial explorers and settlers tended to reject the idea that Africans could have built a city like Great Zimbabwe. This study instead focuses on how successive regimes in Central Africa (Arab, Portuguese, Afrikaner, British, Rhodesian, and Zimbabwean) approached the legend of Great Zimbabwe, and highlighted different aspects of it for their own political ends.
