Black Rhodesian's call him a unifying force. White Rhodesian's call him a source of a sensible future. Religious magazine editors hail him as one of the eleven "Living Giants." In 1973, the United Nations honored him with one of their six human-rights prizes for his leadership in the nonviolent struggle for justice, freedom, and dignity for black people. All recognize Bishop Abel T. Muzorewa as one of the most powerful black spiritual/political leaders in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) today. How and why has he managed to gain so much power? Bishop Muzorewa begins with his boyhood in Rhodesia as the son of a poor farmer/preacher and the eldest of nine children, and recounts the events which enabled him to become the first black bishop in his church in Rhodesia, and one of the foremost spiritual/political figures in modern Africa. This story is one of constant negotiation, deliberation, separation from family, enduring threat of fire bombs and assassination, and of a very lonely struggle from an exiled position either in Mozambique, Zambia, or one of the other neighbor nations. It is also a rare view of the dynamic internal and external forces affecting Africa today. biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history Biographies, Abingdon Press<
