description: Africa's Shona people built the massively impressive fourteenth-century stone walls of Great Zimbabwe. In recent history they fought the white settlers who created Rhodesia; today they form the majority of the population of modern Zimbabwe. David Beach's unique study of the Shona and neighbouring Ndebele, Gaza Nguni and others links archaeology, anthropology and linguistics studies with oral traditions and later written evidence.
