Shattered Dreams (eBook, PDF)

How political and economic hardship has displaced a whole people in Zimbabwe

Beschreibung

Shattered Dreams is a journey taken by a woman and her family during a period of extreme hardship in Zimbabwe. As the country, her home, began to fall apart at the seams, there were two choices: stay and risk losing everything or leave and lose everything but have the chance to build a new life in foreign lands. This is a choice no one ever wants to make, but was reality for Paidamoyo Phillipa Jackson. It is a physical and spiritual journey as well as a literal one which discusses many important issues surrounding politics, society and philosophy. Learn what it is like to watch your country literally disintegrate around you. Learn what it is like to suffer from the second highest rate of hyperinflation ever seen in modern times and watch an education system that was once the best in Africa fall apart.

Autor

With a degree in agricultural economics and farm management, Paidamoyo Phillipa Jackson is a lecturer with a love of history and teaching. This is her first book and in it she conveys her personal journey, both physical and spiritual as well as her country¿s journey. It is based on her life, however it is not about the pivotal life experiences, or her immense courage through her journey, but more a record of her experiences for posterity. Her interest in the political, social and philosophical issues that led to Zimbabwe¿s complete collapse can be seen firsthand in this book where she discusses them emotively, passionately and extremely rationally. Paidamoyo Phillipa has two sons and dedicates her book to her mother and her late father.
