Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fast Track Land Reform Programme implemented during the 2000s in Zimbabwe represents the only instance of radical redistributive land reforms since the end of the Cold War. It reversed the racially-skewed agrarian structure and discriminatory land tenures inherited from colonial rule. The land reform also radicalised the state towards a nationalist, introverted accumulation strategy, against a broad array of unilateral Western sanctions. Indeed, Zimbabwes land reform, in its social and political dynamics, must be compared to the leading land reforms of the twentieth century, which include those of Mexico, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Cuba and Mozambique. The fact that the Zimbabwe case has not been recognised as vanguard nationalism has much to do with the intellectual structural adjustment which has accompanied neoliberalism and a hostile media campaign. This has entailed dubious theories of neopatrimonialism, which reduce African politics and the state to endemic corruption, patronage, and tribalism while overstating the virtues of neoliberal good governance. Under this racist repertoire, it has been impossible to see class politics, mass mobilisation and resistance, let alone believe that something progressive can occur in Africa. This book comes to a conclusion that the Zimbabwe land reform represents a new form of resistance with distinct and innovative characteristics when compared to other cases of radicalisation, reform and resistance. The process of reform and resistance has entailed the deliberate creation of a tri-modal agrarian structure to accommodate and balance the interests of various domestic classes, the progressive restructuring of labour relations and agrarian markets, the continuing pressures for radical reforms (through the indigenisation of mining and other sectors), and the rise of extensive, albeit relatively weak, producer cooperative structures. The book also highlights some of the resonances between the Zimbabwean land struggles and those on the continent, as well as in the South in general, arguing that there are some convergences and divergences worthy of intellectual attention. The book thus calls for greater endogenous empirical research which overcomes the pre-occupation with failed interpretations of the nature of the state and agency in Africa.
Download or read book Beyond the crises Zimbabwe s prospects for transformation written by Murisa, Tendai and published by Weaver Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past years, few African countries have been the focus of discussions and analyses generating a vast array of literature as much as Zimbabwe. The socioeconomic and political crises since the turn of the century have deeply transformed the country from the ideals of a vibrant freshly independent nation just two decades earlier. These transformations have necessitated the call for the restructuring of Zimbabwean society, polity, and economy. But this literature remains exclusively within the realm of academic thinking and theorising, with no concerted effort to move beyond this by explicitly drawing out the policy implications. Beyond the Crises: Zimbabwe's Prospects for Transformation is a welcome addition to the academic and policy literature with a much broader and all-embracing focus in terms of policy interventions. By focusing on different aspects of social and economic justice, Murisa and Chikweche go beyond initiating a broad discussion on these two key pillars of human development with a view to suggesting possible future directions of practical solutions and policy development for the attainment of inclusive social and economic justice for Zimbabweans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents a first systematic effort to document Zimbabwe "s new land uses during the years of economic crisis, the role of the state in promoting them, the differentiation associated with them, not only between black and white farmers, but also among them, and the implications of all these for the political economy of the Zimbabwean land question. The fact that some of the new land uses avoid redistribution of clearly under-utilised large scale commercial farms suggests that the Zimbabwean land question will remain a live political issue for a long time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 2,7, University of Pavia, language: English, abstract: Since Zimbabwe has gained independence in 1980, the redistribution of land has dictated domestic politics. Former president Robert Mugabe and his party ZANU-PF aimed at redistributing as much land as possible from former colonizers, white people, to formerly oppressed black people. Starting under neo-colonial structures with the Lancaster House Agreement, the land reforms slowly radicalized and ended in the controversial Fast Track reform in 2000. In the process of tackling the land question, many difficulties emerged which will be analysed in this paper. While many scholars attribute the mistakes of the reforms to Mugabe and the government, it will be argued that there are more exogenous factors that heavily constrained the proper implementation of the land reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimbabwe's land reform has been highly controversial. Too often, ideological positions trump empirical realities and detailed analysis. This book aims to fill a gap by drawing on extensive longitudinal research from across Zimbabwe, pointing to policy challenges, as well as solutions. In the post-Mugabe era, moving forward is vital if the agrarian economy is to revive and the benefits of the land reform are to be realised. Across nine sections and 44 chapters, the book discusses a range of themes - from livelihood change in land reform areas, to the particular challenges of medium-scale farms, youth, farm workers and land administration to food security, market development, small towns and the potentials for local economic development.

Download or read book The Intricate Mediators of the Land Reform in Zimbabwe written by Emmanuel Chinyamakobvu and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are interactions between poverty, land degradation, desertification and the propensity for conflicts over the ownership and use of land resources particularly so when land is viewed as the principal and indispensable capital for economic development and poverty eradication. In the case of Zimbabwe, it is essential to understand the mediators between historical, socio-economic and environmental imperatives and the land ownership conflict that propelled the Fast Track Land Reform. From an observer perspective, Zimbabwe experienced increased risks of failure, on the back of what was considered as the government's inappropriate management of the land question. The authorities may have anticipated but appeared to have miscalculated the economic costs of the land reform. However, despite the problems, the land reform increased the quantity of land for the rural households bringing along prospects for sustained rural economic development and poverty eradication in the long term. Thus enhancing the understanding of these linkages by the international community is needed, and achieving it was an important element of this study.
