I Won’t Call You Sir

Black Journalist's Encounter in White-ruled Rhodesia

Imported title from Zimbabwe, very limited stock, paperback 80 pages

This book highlights the plight of blacks in white-ruled Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The author, a journalist by profession, narrates how blacks were subjected to degrading and sometimes impossible experiences by the colonizers.

The book is written in a lighthearted manner and yet it touches the very core of humanity. The whites in Rhodesia ruled with an iron fist and were intolerant of any dissenting voices. The events narrated in this book, while they apply specifically to the author as an individual, also apply to a large extent to the life of most, if not all, blacks living under colonialism during those days.

This book is a must for those who are interested in knowing about living under colonial rule and fighting an unjust system.
