Oliver,Tendai and Gibson would like to express thanks to each other for cur- ating this volume on the urgent subject of cultures of change in post-colonial Zimbabwe, especially in the post-Mugabe era.We also appreciate how we have established links with Zimbabwean scholars, within and outside the country, on this book project.
Our greatest appreciation goes to all the contributors, for their enthusiasm and energy. Without them, this project would not have seen the light of day. We also want to take this opportunity to thank the many reviewers for their immense contribution to the success of the project.Their incisive questions and probing comments helped in shaping the focus and rigour of all the chapters in this volume.
