This memoir of the years between 1957, when he first went to Southern Rhodesia, and 1967 when he published his first book, is both an intimate record of the African awakening which Ranger witnessed during those ten years, and of the process which led him to write \u003ci\u003eRevolt in Southern Rhodesia\u003c\/i\u003e. Intended as both history and as historiography, \u003ci\u003eWriting Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e is also about the ways in which politics and history interacted. The men with whom Ranger discussed Zimbabwean history were the leaders of African nationalism; his seminar papers were sent to prisons and into restricted areas. Both they and he were making political as well as intellectual discoveries. The book also includes a brief account of Ranger's life before he went to Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   TERENCE RANGER was Emeritus Rhodes Professor of Race Relations, University of Oxfordand author of many books including \u003ci\u003eAre we not also Men?\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003eVoices from the Rocks\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eBulawayo Burning\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), and co-editor of \u003ci\u003eViolence and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (2000).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Zimbabwe \u0026amp; Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Namibia): Weaver Press","brand":"T O Ranger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280807276795,"sku":"9781847010711","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781847010711.jpg?v=1772487635","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/writing-revolt-9781847010711","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
