In November, 2017, the people of Zimbabwe took to the streets in an unprecedented alliance with the military. Their goal, to restore the legacy of Chimurenga, the liberation struggle, and wrest their country back from more than 30 years of Robert Mugabe's rule. In an essay that combines bold reportage, memoir, and critical analysis, Zimbabwean novelist and journalist Panashe Chigumadzi reflects on the "coup that was not a coup," the telling of history and manipulation of time and the ancestral spirts of two women--her own grandmother and Mbuya Nehanda, the grandmother of the nation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An extraordinary and thrilling history of Zimbabwe, culminating in the overthrow of Robert Mugabe." --<i>Guardian</i><br><br>"Chigumadzi successfully nests the intimate charge of her poignant personal story in the sweeping historical account and mythology of Zimbabwe." --Brian Chikwava, author, <i>Harare North</i><br><br>"Chigumadzi's exploration of personal, family and national history reincarnates in stark, vivid images, many of those interred in the shadows of her country's 'Big Men'." --Tsisti Dangarembga, author, <i>Nervous Conditions</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Panashe Chigumadzi</b> was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in South Africa.
