      abstract = {This book examines why Zimbabwean immigrants in Britain  should be viewed as a product of ethno-racial identities  and prejudices developed and nurtured during the colonial  and post-colonial phases of Zimbabwe's history. In the  absence of shared historic socio-economic or cultural  commonalities, the book will tackle the key question: 'Are  Zimbabweans in Britain demarcated by race and ethnicity an  imagined community?' Through an analysis of personal  interviews, and secondary and primary sources, it  identifies and engages historical experiences that had been  instrumental in constructing diasporic identities and  integration processes of Zimbabwean immigrants. With most  literature tending to create perceptions that Zimbabwean  immigrants are a monolithic community of Blacks, the book's  comparative analysis of Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and  Asians unveils a multi-racial community fragmented by  historic racial and ethnic allegiances and prejudices. It  is essential reading for scholars and researchers  interested in migration, African Diaspora, and colonial and  post-colonial studies.},
