Nigel Smallbone: A Rhodesian Childhood

Guildford u3a member Nigel Smallbone grew up in two British colonies which has led to a life-long interest in colonialisation. Why and how did it happen and how did it affect colonisers and the colonised? Nigel shares memories and reflections on moving to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Ian Smith's unilateral declaration of independence, and first steps towards majority rule.

Talk follows AGM.
