Explain politics and culture in Hairdresser of Harare.

The story is set against the turbulent political, economic, and social landscape of the Mugabe regime. It examines a culture that grapples with the after-effects of colonization. Zimbabwe is destroyed by the very leaders who fought for her independence. A high rate of unemployment, rampant corruption, and food shortage beleaguer a resource-rich land. The eviction of Africans from their farms, the lack of basic facilities, and a dichotomous social structure provide an understanding of the country’s socio-political scenario.
