Abstract

The wind of Colonialism that swept through the world buried its root in Africa because of the favorable economic realities and riches of the African continent. Colonialism was a yoke on Africa, no doubt. The aim of this paper is to discuss Colonialism as it affects Africa,and the place of Militia Struggles and Resistance as catalysts that sped up the process of independence across African Continent which brought about Decolonization. With focus on Chinodya’s Harvest of Thorns and Zimbabwe,It relates the fact that without intense agitation by Guerrilla Fighters – an army of the people, the evils of colonialism would have continued till this day with the white minority dominating the black majority. The paper adopts as its theoretical framework, Resistant Theory, believed to have been first practiced by the Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther, and concludes that Militia Struggles and Resistance were best responses to Colonialism and imperialism of the West as they aided the actualization of Independence.
