SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa:  Eye on Africa - Liz Timbs, MSU PhD Candidate; 
DESCRIPTION:
 "'Phaphamani Zulu!': The Use of Amabutho in the 
 Recruitment of Zulu Service in the First and 
 Second World Wars."\n
 \n
 	Liz Timbs is a Ph.D. 
 candidate in African History at Michigan State 
 University. Her dissertation research, funded 
 by a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation 
 Research Abroad fellowship, traces the permutations 
 of Zulu martial heritage in the present-day 
 KwaZulu-Natal province from the era of 
 Shaka Zulu (ca. 1816) to the present-day. Taking 
 a bottom-up approach, it focuses on the 
 changing status and symbolism of Zulu amabutho 
 (regiments, age-grades), noting the shifts 
 and changing meaning of these institutions from 
 the pre- colonial era to the present, arguing 
 that the Zulu amabutho shaped, and continue 
 to shape, youth socialization amongst Zulu 
 young men, while also framing public perceptions 
 of the violent potential of these same 
 young South Africans.\n
