At the beginning of each year, I try and catch up on the ever-growing literature on land, agriculture and rural change in Zimbabwe. Each year there seems to be more and more, as the body of work grows based on many research studies, often linked to Masters’ and PhD projects by Zimbabwean students. It is an impressive testament to the depth and extent of scholarship associated with Zimbabwe, making it an on-going privilege for me to continue to contribute to, and hopefully support, this work. Given the volume of material, this year I have had to divide my review into five separate themes.
The short blog series over the next five weeks offers a brief overview of material produced during (mostly) 2023, with links to the articles, chapters or books.
This article is from Zimbabweland, a blog written by IDS Research Fellow Ian Scoones. Zimbabweland focuses on issues related to rural livelihoods and land reform in Zimbabwe.
