Land and Agrarian Transformation in Zimbabwe

This book explores the outcomes of Zimbabwe's fast track land reform implemented in 2000. The book pays particular attention to changing livelihoods in Zimbabwe's countryside occasioned by the land reform.

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.
