and less important for crop i guru been the days of rate -- wage roll out and still looking at roy bennett to say how does this work and try to figure out the race anglo the story he was imprisoned and i saw him with his own constituencies that is more about class and race. he was living among his constituents those from the highly educated parachuting into the election and then going on to the capital they were not around race is only being used by mugabe now and as i described in the book, like a pin data hid gives it a black whenever the issue to reemerge and the stale bonbons come out but he has been in power over 30 years and at a certain point* the issues on the ground has been in power. the nation reflects his decision. >> host: let's talk about bad. i think there is a lot of confusion whether or not this is a reflection of mugabe and a reflection of the international community and the undermining of his government with the dynamics that are going on in southern africa. we talk about mugabe as of this one man but zimbabwe is a role between 10 and 15 people and in some instances muga

the last stages of the white rule and race was an issue, a huge issue so i was still looking at roy bennett and said how does this work and trying to figure not the race angle to the story until eventually one day when i was looking at he was in prison and i saw him interfacing with his own constituencies and i realized that it's more about class than it is about race that he was living in rural zimbabwe among the constituency where they were often highly educated and whatever were just parachuting into the election in the italian loafers and then going back to the capitol and so people just felt they were not representing them properly. they didn't know the issues, they were not around, so eight -- raise is only being used by my darbee now. i describe it in the book is it's like a sort of pinata he gives it a wac whenever he needs the issue to re-emerge and the kind of coming out of historical blame but he's been in power for 30 years now. at a certain point the issues on the ground he's seen in power. italian nation reflects his decision and its history. >> host: let's talk about that a l
