n contrast to the previous chapter, which has revolved around the analysis of the ANC’s and its key constituents‘ postindependence ideological choices, the present chapter adopts a more explicitly chronological perspective with a view to surveying the complex events that enabled Nkumbula to emerge from the enfeebled position in which he had found himself in the mid-1960s and to finally threaten the continuing dominance of the Kaunda regime in alliance with other, more recent oppositional forces. It is only when the full extent of the challenge faced by UNIP is realized that it becomes possible to account for the inception of the Zambian one-party state, a radical institutional transformation against which Nkumbula fought the last major battle of his long political career. |
