ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on issues related to health, education, environmental protection, religion, political organization and governance, and media use. It concerns the issue of achieving justice and peace after chaotic land reforms in Zimbabwe. The chapter engages with the importance of liberating the Zimbabwean educational curriculum from Eurocentric ideas as the genesis of any form of liberation. It explores the influence that African Indigenous Churches have in protecting the vulnerable environment and the chances that the churches have in that endeavour. The chapter argues for the Ubuntu justice system of reconciliation as key to rehabilitating offenders. It also focuses on the media power and politics of televangelism in Zimbabwe. It provides some phenomenological reflections on the role of the Environmental Management Agency in Zimbabwe, which gives a different thrust from that of Bernard Humbe.
