Summary

This is a social history of memory, violence, and landscape in the Honde Valley in eastern Zimbabwe, from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1990s. It shows how sense is made of violence through mediations between negotiations of the present, imaginations of the future, and memories of the past. The concept of violence is re-examined through the prism of suffering as part of everyday identity formation. Major themes running through the book are the frontier character of the valley; insurgency and counter-insurgency (the Liberation and Renamo wars); spiritual healing; gendered and age-specific responses to the opportunities and challenges violence presents; the practices and meaning of landscape in the articulation of colonial violence and political and personal landscape uses in response to such violence. Heike Schmidt is visiting professor for African History and Society at the Department of African Studies, Vienna University
