Abstract "This book examines the invention of Zimbabwe's "New Dispensation," the regime of Emmerson D. Mnangagwa. The contributors examine the use of time, theological ideas and religious practices to separate Mnangagwa's regime from Robert G. Mugabe's. They explore how religious ideas and ideals within the religious marketplace become building blocks and material for creating a New Dispensation"-- Provided by publisher.
