Finding Our Voices Catherine Buckle

The last five years of Robert Mugabe's grip on power were characterized by protests, demonstrations and defiance, met by tear gas, baton sticks and brutality which shocked the world. 'Finding Our Voices' tells the stories of those years which ended in a military takeover and the resignation of Robert Mugabe. The period between 2013 and 2017 will forever be remembered as the years in which Zimbabweans found their voices, learnt the power of persistence and finally came together in huge numbers in November 2017 to say Enough is Enough. 'Finding Our Voices' is the fourth book in a series describing the imapct of Zimbabwean politics on real people's lives. 'Can you Hear the Drums' covers 2000 to 2004. 'Millions, Billions, Trillions' covers 2005 to 2009. 'When Winners are Losers' covers 2009 to 2013 and 'Finding Our Voices' concludes as Robert Mugabe steps down after 37 years in power. These books are essential reading for students, historians and those who care about democracy.
