Since then, there have been four confessions and at least as many accusations about who was responsible. In The Assassination of Herbert Chitepo, Luise White does not set out to resolve questions about who was accountable for this horrible murder. Instead, in a style that is as much murder mystery as it is history writing, she uncovers what is at stake in the various confessions and why Chitepo's assassination continues to incite conflict and controversy in Zimbabwe's national politics. White casts doubt on official accounts of the murder and addresses how and for whom history is written and how myths and ideas about civic culture were founded in war-torn Zimbabwe. Although the truth about the assassination of Herbert Chitepo may never be known, readers will discover how one man's murder continues to unsettle Zimbabwe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreliminary Table of Contents: \u003cbr\u003e Acknowlegments\u003cbr\u003e Characters in Order of Appearance\u003cbr\u003e A Note on Place Names\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52701994254616,"sku":"9780253216083","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-assassination-of-herbert-chitepo-texts-and-politics-in-zimbabwe-paperback-softback-9780253216083","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
