| Sumario: | Damage is an invaluable resource, not only because it once again reveals the lengths to which a Party will go to remain in power but also because it offers a fascinating perspective on the country through many different histories. The testimonies published here make this a very important book.-Stephen Chan, Professor of International Relations at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Damage is a powerful act of witnessing that will, I hope, command a wide audience.-Jocelyn Alexander, Professor of Commonwealth Studies, University of Oxford. Story after story provides a testament to not being able to kill people's spirit, no matter how much you abuse them.-Peter Orner, editor of Underground America: Narratives of Undocumented Lives (2007). This is an amazing collection of personal testimonies to the violence of recent political development in Zimbabwe and to the courage of Zimbabweans and the force of strivings for democracy.-Preben Kaarsholm, editor of Violence, Political Culture and Development in Africa (2006). I found these personal stories harrowing. The torture and brutality that their tellers endured is beyond comprehension. But always their spirit was indestructible, their commitment to creating a better world unshakeable. This I found admirable and uplifting.-Chiedza Musengezi, editor of Tragedy of Lives: Women in Prison in Zimbabwe (2003) --Book Jacket. |
