The Graham Publishing Company was a book and magazine publisher that operated in Salisbury, Rhodesia, during, at least, the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s.

## Operations

[edit]

The company published a wide range of books aimed largely at the white settler market, as well as a magazine called Illustrated Life Rhodesia which was also targeted at the same market. However, shortly after Rhodesia achieved independence as Zimbabwe in 1980, the company published the autobiography of a black leader, Maurice Nyagumbo,[1] which was described later that year as "probably the most important publishing event in post-independent Zimbabwe".[2]
