After assuming power in 1980 the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) has sought to control the narrative of the struggle for liberation from colonialism to the exclusion of other players such as the Zimbabwe African Peopleâs Union (ZAPU). This book investigates the ways in which photographs are being used within Zimbabwe especially on social media to challenge the prevailing narrative and reclaim the memories of the subjugated. The book analyses the photographs produced by Zenzo Nkobi during the struggle against colonialism. Drawing on the memories of veterans from ZAPU and its military wing the Zimbabwe Peopleâs Revolutionary Army (ZPRA) the book shows that photographs can both act as a conduit for existing narratives and as a tool for shaping memory narratives and evidencing ZPRA military prowess ahead of other movements. At a time when Zimbabwe is reassessing the legacy of liberation this book offers a powerful multidisciplinary assessment for researchers across the fields of history memory political science African studies and media studies. .
