Hardback. P. S. Garlake, Stein and Day, Publishers, New York.

P. S. Garlake, drawing on his extensive fieldwork and archaeological expertise, details the architectural grandeur of the stone enclosures and chronicles the rise of the sophisticated Shona civilization that constructed them between the 11th and 15th centuries. The work systematically dismantles colonial-era myths that sought to attribute the site's construction to outside civilizations, arguing compellingly and with scholarly precision that Great Zimbabwe stands as an unambiguous testament to indigenous African ingenuity and political power.
