Anotace:	The brutal civil war that ravaged Zimbabwe, the former British colony of Rhodesia, from 1966 to 1979 was a tragedy which could have been avoided if the parties had come to some understanding and respect of each other's culture. This study shows that conflict emerged between the colonial government and the Africans as a result of a set of policies defined by the former in a conflicting cultural setting. It discusses the evidence to show that conflict in Zimbabwe was not limited to the colonial period, it became part of the post-colonial experience. This leads to the basic conclusion that national policy itself often becomes the principal cause of conflict. When cast in a colonial cultural setting, conflict acquires critical dimensions. This book also furnishes evidence to suggest that in designing its educational and racial policies the way it did, the successive colonial governments regarded themselves as the vanguard of British cultural traditions and to preserve them as the only viable basis of political action as it had been in the past.
