Davis, an International Studies major, coded memoirs of indigenous Shona and
British colonial men and women who described their lives during Zimbabwe’s mid-1960s
to 1980 liberation struggle. Their
efforts resulted in a co-authored manuscript entitled ‘Ideologies of Land and
Place: Memories from Zimbabwe’s War of Liberation,’ which has been accepted for
publication in an early 2008 issue of the peer-reviewed South African Geographical Journal.
