Items related to Where We Have Hope: A Memoire of Zimbabwe
In May 2003 Guardian journalist Andrew Meldrum was seized by Mugabe's thugs and deported, forced to leave for writing 'bad things' about Mugabe's regime. This was the shocking end of a grim journey. For twenty years, Meldrum had lived through Zimbabwe's transformation - from the African beacon of hope to violent despotism.
This is his story. It is also a testament to the the power of hope. Throughout Zimbabwe, doctors, teachers, journalists and lawyers have refused to accept Mugabe's rule. Meldrum depicts their courage and heroism in moments of intense drama and tension.
Where We Have Hope is a moving account of a life lived in a world of extremes - of ugly tyranny and of the extraordinary friendships and passionate beliefs that it inspires.

Review:
Meldrum's writing is driven by his love for Zimbabwe and its people, and he still believes the country has a future - but not with Mugabe. (Irish Times)
'His memoir is written with admirable control and clarity, shedding light on the complexity ... yet his passion for his adopted country never fails to shine through.' Nicola Barr (The Guardian)
So readable...His personable, matter-of-fact tone serves less to dismiss the extraordinary injustices the country and its people have suffered and more to highlight them by giving them context. (Observer)
He does not spare us from the brutality and wickedness that is gripping Zimbabwe, but by telling the stories of its people and allowing us to hear their voices, he shows that amidst the repression and cruelty of Mugabe's state, there is courage, dignity, and above all real hope. (RAGEH OMAAR)
