Abstract

Visualize a small, well-used room, piled high with new, old, and positively venerable high school history textbooks-the storeroom of the history department in an urban public high school in Zimbabwe. The storeroom exhibits a stubborn vibrancy in an atmosphere of overall decrepitude and is representative of the state of high school history teaching in Zimbabwe.
