Summary

This chapter continues with some of the themes from Chapter 5 by looking at the Katangese mission in Brussels; the installation of a Rhodesian accredited diplomatic representatives in Lisbon; the Rhodesian diplomatic mission in Britain, Rhodesia House; and the creation of Bophuthatswana’s London mission in Holland Park, “Bop House.” This chapter describes the complex, acrimonious, and sometimes counterintuitive politics behind the diplomatic statuses of these missions, as well as the symbolic and totemic significance of mission buildings themselves as protest venues. Similar to the controversies that their missions provoked in America, they likewise exposed deep political divisions within Britain.
