It is an attempt to explorewhat historical research and reconstruction can add to the literary imagination.\u003cbr\u003e Responding as it does to a novel, this history imitates some fictional modes. Two of its chapters are in effect 'scenes', dealing with brief periods of intense activity. Others are in effect biographies of 'characters'. The book draws upon and quotes from a rich body of urban oral memory. In addition to this historical\/literary interaction the book is a contribution to the historiography of southern African cities, bringing out the experiential and cultural dimensions, and combining black and white urban social history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  TERENCE RANGER was Emeritus Rhodes Professor of Race Relations, University of Oxford and author of many books including \u003ci\u003eWriting Revolt, \u003ci\u003eAre we not also Men?\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003eVoices from the Rocks\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and was co-editor of \u003ci\u003eViolence and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (2000).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e  Zimbabwe: Weaver Press\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"T O Ranger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280549458171,"sku":"9781847010209","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781847010209.jpg?v=1772487634","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/bulawayo-burning-9781847010209","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
