A guide for a film made by PBS about Zimbabwe, particularly Mugabe's relationship with white Africans. From page 8 onwards, it gives a brief history of Zimbabwe's colonial history, discusses the land distribution in Rhodesia, and the land reforms undertaken by Mugabe.
It is particularly useful for assessing the challenges in the formation of modern Zimbabwe, but focuses on the period from 2000 onwards.
Gives a brief history to the background of Zimbabwe, as well as its fight for independence. Focuses on Mugabe's land and economic reform. Also includes "discussion questions". I think this article would be good for some background information, or as a pre-reading.
