Fear & Hope in Zimbabwe

With Peter Orner & Peter Godwin

Peter Godwin’s The Fear chronicles the violence, suffering and chaos of his native Zimbabwe under the rule of Robert Mugabe. In Peter Orner’s Hope Deferred, Zimbabweans recount their experiences of losing their homes, land, livelihoods and families as a direct result of political violence. Godwin and Orner join in a discussion about the astonishing courage and resilience of a people who challenged a violent dictatorship, and the power of story telling to fight tyranny.

“[The Fear is] a document that should be read by anyone interested in the sacrifices that people are willing to make for the sake of democracy.” – The New York Times

“Hope Deferred might be the most important publication to have come out of Zimbabwe in the past thirty years.” – Alexandra Fuller, Harper’s Magazine
