Where We Have Hope - A Memoir of Zimbabwe by Andrew Meldrum

Where We Have Hope is the gripping memoir of a young American journalist. In 1980, Andrew Meldrum arrived in a Zimbabwe flush with new independence, and he fell in love with the country and its optimism. But over the twenty years he lived there, Meldrum watched as President Robert Mugabe consolidated power and the government evolved into despotism. In May 2003, Meldrum, the last foreign journalist still working in the dangerous and chaotic nation, was illegally forced to leave his adopted home. His unflinching work describes the terror and intimidation Mugabes government exercised on both the press and citizens, and the resiliency of Zimbabweans determined to overturn Mugabe and demand the free society they were promised. 

Binding: Soft

Book Condition: Good. Some dust residue at the top of the pages.

We  have a large selection of Rhodesiana as my mother - Lynne Ruth Robertson Greeff - was an avid collector of Rhodesiana. She was born (1935) and grew up in Bulawayo as part of the large John MacDonald Family Clan. Her brother, John MacDonald Robertson, was a well-known Harare economist.  When she was 23 she visited Cape Town and met my father. She grew to love Cape Town but was forever homesick for the bushhveld. Inheriting her collection of 3000+ Africana books is what started my adventure as a book dealer.
