In the wake of 2008–9, Zimbabwe was gripped by a devastating cholera outbreak that went far beyond a mere public health emergency. With the epidemic claiming nearly 5,000 lives amid over 100,000 reported cases, the crisis unfolded at the height of the country’s economic decline and political disarray. In The Political Life of an Epidemic, Simukai Chigudu unravels the intricate links between a preventable disease and the evolving contours of political life in Zimbabwe. The book carefully traces the origins and spread of the cholera crisis, exploring how social responses and institutional actions fueled debates over state responsibility and disaster management. Through his meticulous analysis, Chigudu sheds light on the collapse of public health infrastructures, the limitations of relief efforts, and the deep-seated inequalities that influenced the epidemic’s course. This work offers a penetrating examination of how a health crisis can expose and intensify the vulnerabilities of political and social systems, ultimately reshaping the nature of citizenship in Zimbabwe.
