CC--An Outsider Within: Fifty Years in Zambia and Zimbabwe
Mary Ndlovu will talk about her fifty years living in Zambia and Zimbabwe through times of great turbulence in Southern Africa. She will touch on life as the wife of a politician engaged in the liberation of his country, managing a multi-racial family while war and political conflict raged, and adapting to very different cultural beliefs and practices.
She will also discuss her career in teacher education in two post-colonial nations which were using educational expansion as a tool for economic development, and her later work with NGOs in developing legal services for communities and participating in the fight for democracy and human rights.
She has described these experiences and others in her memoir which she wrote as a member of CALL’s interest group Our Lives, Our Stories 1.
