> The Annual BZS Research Day this year is a FULL WEEKEND!
> As usual, there will be researchers on Zimbabwe from across

> in progress.

> For background to this year's Research Days theme, see
> Terence Ranger's article examining the role of history in
> political discourse in Zimbabwe:
> 'Nationalist Historiography, Patriotic History and the
> History of the Nation: the struggle over the past in
> Zimbabwe'. It is available on the BZS website:
> http://www.britain-zimbabwe.org.uk/ZimbHistoriogrqphy.htm,
> and in the forthcoming isse of JSAS.
>
> As usual, I will be collating short reports of current
> research on Zimbabwe for the directory, available
> in hard copy at the conference and online at
> http://www.britain-zimbabwe.org.uk/ResearchRegister03.htm
> Please contact me at [log in to unmask] if you would
