Changing Racial Attitudes in Zimbabwe

Colonial/Post-Colonial Dynamics

Florida State University

This article focuses on racial attitudes in post-colonial Zimbabwe as revealed in letters to the editor, published in one of the country's weekly newspapers from the late 1980s through the 1990s. These data revealed that African authors were the consistent majority during this period and focused on their institutional needs, becoming increasingly critical of their government. White authors, on the other hand, remained the minority and emphasized the maintenance of institutional standards and efficiency, remaining consistently skeptical of the country's Black government. The analysis concludes by addressing the theoretical and policy implications of these results.

Key Words: racial attitudes • newspaper letters • African authors • White authors • Zimbabwe • colonial • post-colonial
