Description
This work, one of a series covering all Marxist regimes in the world, examines and evaluates critically the application of Marxist doctrine to Zimbabwe, assessing its interpretations and attempting to discover whether Zimbabwe is indeed a true Marxist-Leninst regime, a neo-colonial state, a national democratic state or a state in transition to socialism. The study is placed in a historical context and considers the social structure, economy and political parties of the country.
