This book traces Barotseland's existence in the Zambian nation from 1964 to date. The book challenges dominant discourses on Barotseland from various sources, including the Zambian Government. Indeed, such narratives have either been explicitly biased or have sought to distort Barotseland's quest for independence from Zambia.In the same vein, it departs from previous works that have sought to legitimise what the people of Barotseland now refer to as the "illegal occupation of Barotseland by the Zambian Government".
