  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: African Histories and Modernities ((AHAM))

Abstract

This chapter by the military historian Martin Rupiya compliments Sibanda’s analysis very well as it specifically highlights how Nkomo contributed to the internationalisation of Zimbabwe ’s liberation struggle—an aspect that Rupiya argued is downplayed in the Zimbabwean historiography of the anticolonial liberation struggle.
