Cultural Literacy: Zimbabwe

If you can use it–and I think it might be useful in a global studies class–here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Zimbabwe. This is a two-page worksheet with a reading of four sentences and nine comprehension questions. The reading includes material on the fact that Zimbabwe, when it was known as Rhodesia, (you know, the country Cecil Rhodes humbly named for himself) “was a a renegade state ruled by a white minority.”

In other words, there is room here to conduct an inquiry on the ugly nature of colonialism, particularly as a manifestation of white supremacy.

If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
