Innovative and challenging study that provides fresh insights on the anthropology of death and postcolonial politics.

Examines the politics of landscape and heritage by focusing on the Great Zimbabwe National Monument in southern Zimbabwe. This book represents an important step beyond that controversy over origins, to focus on the site's position in local contests between individuals within, the Nemanwa, Charumbira and Mugabe clans over land, power and authority.
