Using a post-nationalist revisionist interpretation of the political processes and developments both of the colonial and post-colonial periods, Bizeck Jube Phiri posits that there has been a valuable contribution of multi-racial liberalism to the process of Zambian decolonisation. He examines the introduction of the one-party state in Zambia and its role in the political history of the country and argues that the failure of multi party politics during the First Republic reflected the lack of colonial preparedness for multi party politics.
