Synopsis "Healing the Wounds of Gukurahundi in Zimbabwe: A Participatory Action Research Project (The Anthropocene: Politik―Economics―Society―Science) (in English)"
This book reports on a participatory action research project carried out with a group of former members of the Zimbabwe People?s Revolutionary Army (ZPRA), which was the armed wing of the Zimbabwe African People?s Union (ZAPU) led by the late Joshua Nkomo. The book is a culmination of a two-year journey by the group and the author to explore group-based, self-healing approaches to healing the pain caused by the violence of Gukurahundi. The results help us to understand the potential of small self-help groups in recovering from a trauma.ZPRA was the primary target of Gukurahundi, a pogrom by the Mugabe government in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe in the early 1980s that left an estimated 20 000 civilians dead and countless others tortured. It has been almost 30 years since the violence ended, but there has never been an official healing and reconciliation programme or truth commission to investigate the atrocities. Instead the government chose to grant a blanket amnesty to all involved. The regime has enforced a culture of silence over the event through repression and intimidation. The book is an extended version of the author?s dissertation thesis from 2014, published under the same title by the Durban University of Technology.
