“Africanist scholars are increasingly retooling their stock-in-trade –
those tired, Euro-American tropes, epistemologies and metaphysics that
have long organised social science knowledges, objects of study,
problems and explanations surrounding Africa. This book is a major
contribution to these efforts. Through rich ethnography of Zimbabwe’s
troubled times, Artwell Nhemachena not only challenges us to unthink
many familiar social science concepts, conundrums and concerns; he also
provides a novel conceptual architecture through which to do so.”
