'History is...a matter of fact or perspective' (Tracy DW)

Influenced by her work in school on Black History projects and a desire to see a global approach and a balance of perspective in teaching history, Tracy DW presents 'Hope for Zimbabwe-arise the Phoenix'

The seventh story published in the 'Stories to be tolled' series is an ode to a country that was once called 'the breadbasket of Africa' Tracy DW presents her perspective on the rise and fall of Zimbabwe. The author explores the struggle for power on many different levels and hints at the hope for a renewed focus and positive outlook for its people as they move forward in their post-colonial era. Where is Zimbabwe? What has been the cause of Zimbabwe's problems? Can Zimbabwe resolve its internal issues to become a unified nation with a strong economy again?

Guiding the reader through key events and mile stones in the Empire Phenomenon, 'Stories to be tolled' is a poetic narrative about Britain's colonial past; presenting a perspective on why the British took control of so many countries, how it maintained its power and its impact on the many ethnicities and cultures that were changed forever.
