| Abstract | The 2000 general election was played out against the backdrop of national liberation demands and a Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) stoking the fires of nationalism. But the Zanu-PF campaign slogan, ‘land is the economy, the economy is the land’, was not merely revolutionary nostalgia. Rather, it was explicitly backed up by an army of ‘war veterans’. and implicitly at least, by the police and armed forces. Leading the charge was President Robert Mugabe, whose populist rhetoric and criticisms of Rhodesian, British, and American interference in Zimbabwean sovereignty added much heat if little light to Zimbabwe’s political and economic situation. |
