• W272340293 abstract "Zimbabwe’s fast track land reform has generated significant attention in southern Africa and beyond due to its speed, scale and the forced displacement of land owners and farm workers. Less attention however, has been paid to the broader framework which has been used to support this rapid and often careless transformation of rural Zimbabwe. Land reform is a means not an end. It is a means to address issues of inequality, historical injustices, inefficiencies in production and distribution, poverty in communal areas, et al. In sum, land reform provides the means to achieve complex goals to make life better for some people without harming, certainly not in the longer term, the productive base of a national economy. While arguments for land reform have been well-articulated including resisting globalization and western domination, the national government and ruling party of Zimbabwe have not directly expressed their views of what Zimbabwe should be like following its land reform. It is a surprising silence given the importance that the land issue played in the constitutional referendum of 2000 and the following parliamentary and presidential elections and the growing economic crises in Zimbabwe. In one effort to examine the potential consequences of fast track land reform, Sam Moyo and Paris Yeros in their recent book suggest that Zimbabwe is on the cusp of a national democratic revolution. In contrast, this paper examines the little that is known about the vision for Zimbabwe’s rural areas in the government owned press and statements by the ZANU-PF political leadership. It asks what are the most likely potential paths given the rich historical, legal and ethnographic literature on rural Zimbabwe? It examines what we might expect in the context of what we know about the ruling party and how the state has acted in the recent past toward its communal and resettlement areas. It will also consider what class forces will be like in the contemporary period and therefore why there will not be any ‘revolution’ but rather the continued impoverishment of rural families unless they have wage earners abroad. It is argued that fast track land reform has diminished rather than expanded the possibilities for a genuine transformation of rural society. In turning its back upon the multiple changes in production, distribution and consumption that have characterized Zimbabwe since 1990, ZANU-PF seeks a repeasantized and politically loyal subject population that will not contest the party’s nationalization of key national resources for its own benefit." @default.
