Surprisingly, the West has proved one of Smith's more effective opponents, though it has done little to encourage a peaceful settlement of the Rhodesian problem. For example, the U.S. currently backs an Anglo-American plan pieced together by U.N. ambassador Andrew Young and British Foreign Secretary David Owen. The plan marks an attempt by the British to atone for their weak-willed opposition to Smith's "colonial rebellion," and by the U.S. to undo the effects of the Nixon administration's "tilt" toward the apartheid states in the early '70s.

The talks are to be "without preconditions," a reference to aspects of the Anglo-American plan for settling the Rhodesian crisis, which the Prime Minister had refused to accept. The objectives agreed on last week cover essentially the same areas as the Anglo-American plan but Washington may have difficulty convincing the Patriotic Front of this...
Haifa century ago, E.M. Forster raised questions about British colonialism in A Passage to India. Novelists have been answering ever since. One of the most unusual replies is this brief visit to a colony of Anglo-Indians in Debrakot, a forgotten hill town where the conflict of blood and tradition provides new wounds every...
