Abstract:
This paper is a follow-up to the research conducted in 2021 titled James Anta: missionary, martyr, and the unsung hero of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Zimbabwe. The paper was a reconstruction of Anta’s life, ministry, and martyrdom. The research found out that although the blood of Anta was the seed of Methodism in Zimbabwe, the church was reluctant to honour him. The research also noted that the Wesleyan Methodist church created a biased history of African cultural epistemology, which has no place for people who die young and unmarried.

AbstractIn the academic debate on labour migration and urbanisation in Southern Africa the persistence of links between urban workers and people in rural areas has proved a pertinent issue. As is implied by the termlabour migration, economic forces have always been regarded as a major determinant of migratory behaviour. State-centred perspectives have dominated studies of rural–urban migration in Zimbabwe, where a restrictive legal framework regulated migration to urban centres during the colonial era in an attempt to prevent large numbers of Africans becoming permanent town dwellers.

The phylogenic approach of biological studies has today spread to linguistics. Sally McBrearty rejected the idea of a Neolithic revolution.

There is a general understanding that Ethiopia runs counter to other African countries, where basically books were introduced by the Europeans to ‘civilise’ the ‘illiterate’ people during the colonial period. This colonialist point of view is problematic for it obliterates the pre-existence of notable centers of Islamic learning located in the continent, for example Timbuktu and Harar. Moreover, Ethiopians, even before the introduction of Christianity, were already equipped with a writing system of their own for more than 3,000 years (Ayele, 1997), and books were not new when Europeans set foo

An analysis of the role of music in African-American culture also provides a historical background to the music-making of the Civil Rights Movement.
