Beskrivning
This book examines the dynamics underpinning the implementation of Zimbabwe’s fast track land reforms. By utilising ethnographic data gathered in central Zimbabwe, the book goes beyond the polarised debates which dominated scholarship in the earlier period to highlight the changing livelihoods occasioned by the land reform. The book argues that despite the challenges faced by the newly resettled farmers, the land reform has allowed landless and land-short peasants access to land and other natural resources which were previously enclosed to them under a bi-modal agrarian structure inherited from colonialism.

Recensioner i media

Twenty years after Zimbabwe’s radical land reform, this book challenges the persistent myths about its consequences. Based on detailed fi eldwork documenting the diverse livelihoods emerging on the resettlements, the book explores the intersections of agriculture, mining and other income sources, and the social and political contexts of these new rural communities. For a balanced, empirically informed analysis, this book is essential reading.’—Ian Scoones, Professor, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK
