The author explores the question of traditional and political architecture through analysis of a variety of structures, including monuments, museums, and indigenous and state buildings. Special attention is paid to the soapstone-carved Zimbabwe Bird, which for years has served as the national emblem. Overall, this book argues that while the production and use of architectural products and spaces have been regarded symbols of collective identity, they have also served as expressions of power and control. 0aHuman geography. 0aArchitecturexHistory. 0aSociology, Urban. 0aEnvironmental geography.14aHuman Geography.24aArchitectural History and Theory.24aUrban Sociology.24aIntegrated Geography.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303147760708iPrinted edition:z978303147762108iPrinted edition:z978303147763840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-47761-4
