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
