The 19th century in Zimbabwe saw British settlers arrive in search of land and gold. After years of strained British rule, resistance to their authority led to Zimbabwe gaining their independence in 1980. However, decisions made under the British administration have led to inefficiencies and insurrections in today's state. To dive deep into the history of Zimbabwe and the effects of colonial rule on pre-colonial societies and the modern-day nation, we are joined by Dr. Timothy Burke, a Professor of History at Swarthmore College and Co-Director of the Aydelotte Foundation.
