Contrary to influential representations of Zimbabwe's 2017 coup and other recent coups as markedly different from past coups, Tendi draws on deep gendered histories of military coups in Africa to argue that in reality there are significant continuities in coup characteristics across time. This highly original account of the 2017 Zimbabwean coup identifies the motives, dynamics, and trigger of the coup and demonstrates the centrality of gender and women's politics in these factors and processes. Additionally, despite the existence of an international anti-coup norm and democracy promotion in Africa by Western states, Zimbabwean coup makers were largely not publicly condemned or penalised by Western and African diplomats, for staging the coup.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlessing-Miles Tendi, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Politics, University of Oxford\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlessing-Miles Tendi is Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford.
