Abstract: | There are two phases of the anti-colonial struggle in Africa: 'pre-nationalism' and 'nationalism', with as a dividing line the Second World War. This article is concerned with the complexity of the relationship between these two phases of African protest in Zambia. The era of modern nationalism in Zambia was ushered in by the formation of the Federation of African Societies at Broken Hill in 1946, led by-Godwin Mbikusita, Nelson Nalumango and George Kaluwa. Main problem in dealing with prenationalist resistance in Zambia is a lack of analytical discussion. Reference is made to T.O. Ranger's writings on the subject. The present knowledge about pre-nationalist resistance in Zambia is summarized. Certain new ways of looking at the present evidence are suggested, so as to arrive at a satisfactory analysis of the peculiar nature and structure of the eventual nationalist movement of the 50s. Certain avenues of exploration for the future which may prove fruitful in the light of the suggested analytical framework are indicated. Ref. |
