Against the backdrop of a politically approved view that Europeans did little to further the Zimbabwean nationalist freedom movements before Independence in 1980, this book will help to nail that misconception against a wall.¿The story of Garfield Todd and his various roles as Christian missionary, liberal prime minister of southern Rhodesia, high-profile opponent of UDI and its architect Ian Smith from 1965 to 1980, will surely be an eye-opener for many young people in central and southern Africa, who may never have heard of this great man who spent his life in education and public service.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Against the backdrop of a politically approved view that Europeans did little to further the Zimbabwean nationalist freedom movements before Independence in 1980, this book will help to nail that misconception against a wall.¿The story of Garfield Todd and his various roles as Christian missionary, liberal prime minister of southern Rhodesia, high-profile opponent of UDI and its architect Ian Smith from 1965 to 1980, will surely be an eye-opener for many young people in central and southern Africa, who may never have heard of this great man who spent his life in education and public service. The role of Garfield Todd and some of the people who worked with him has been effectively airbrushed from the pages of the official Zimbabwean story. Why? is the question. Susan Woodhouse gives us the answer by telling the story of a small but influential group of men and women who dared swim against the racial current in Africa after the Second World War. It¿s a story told with warmth, personal insight and often great humour. This Edinburgh-based author, who Sir Garfield said knew the Todds better than anyone else, has introduced a small but dedicated group of long forgotten activists töa new generation of readers.

Autorenporträt
Susan Woodhouse began working for Garfield Todd in 1956 when he was Prime Minister, and remained as his PA for nine years, subsequently remaining in close touch with the Todd family. Thus, it was that in 1992, Garfield Todd asked her to undertake his biography because, Susan 'knew them better than anyone else'. It was a challenging undertaking and Woodhouse visited Zimbabwe ten times, spending many weeks on Garfield's papers in the National Archives of Zimbabwe, and interviewing surviving friends and colleagues. She also spent a month in New Zealand, and visited the places in Scotland connected with the families of Garfield and Grace.
