This book examines the controversial issues surrounding the desire for titles (both earned and unearned) in Zimbabwe and beyond. The desire for titles is often associated with the quest for status, power, class, and recognition. Unfortunately, this desire has resulted in ‚;faking‘ and the problem of distinguishing genuine Ph Ds from fake ones. The unscrupulous quest for fake degrees is referred to in this book as ‚;Titlemania‘ or ‚;Taitolomania.‘ The scramble for titles has not spared community leaders across the divide. Of concern is the failure of higher education students to use their earned titles to contribute to the search for solutions to societal problems through national technological development. The perspectives of the contributors in this volume provoke debates on the value of doctorates in Africa, and Zimbabwe in particular, considering that most Ph D holders are not using their degrees to contribute to national development, production of goods and services, and the improvement of societal conditions.
