Memory and Erasure is part of a growing body of academic literature to properly document and narrate the Gukurahundi genocide which, hopefully, may contribute to survivors and victims' families' quest for justice and closure. Deployed in January 1983, the Fifth Brigade's legacy has continued to cast a dark shadow not just over Matabeleland and Midlands, but over the entire country. As the title of the book - and also the chapters - forcefully underline, a culture of violence led by the state and those who control its levers pervades the whole of Zimbabwe and continues to do so partly because of the failure to address the Gukurahundi genocide and its aftermaths, which marked the height of Zimbabwean authorities' tendency to use violence to crush dissent and opposition.
