African Farmers in Rhodesia
Old and New Peasant Communities in Karangaland
Introduction
Originally published in 1975 this book analyses the factors making for success and failure in agricultural development among black Zimbabweans during the 20th century. A detailed analysis is given of 2 tribal trust lands, including government policies and administrative control of these areas, voluntary and forced adjustment to land shortage and the economic resources and productivity of peasant cultivators.
Land and Community
Settlements under individual land tenure are examined, as are government policies to these, the internal transformation of these communities and their economic resources and productivity.
Irrigation and Economic Response
There is also a section on irrigation schemes and the reaction of people to irrigation farming. This is an indispensable book in understanding the present-day situation of agriculture in Zimbabwe.
