A dramatic further episode in this history was launched at the start of the last decade with the occupation of many farms by groups of African veterans of the liberation struggle and their supporters, which was then institutionalised by legislation to take over most of the large commercial farms for sub-division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSustained fieldwork over the intervening years, by teams of scholars and experts, and by individual researchers is now generating an array of evidence-based findings of the outcomes: how land was acquired and disposed of; how it has been used; how far new farmers have carved out new livelihoods and viable new communities; the major political and economic problems they and other stakeholders such as former farm-workers, commercial farmers, and the overall rural society now face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be an essential starting place for analysts, policy-makers, historians and activists seeking to understand what has happened and to spotlight the key issues for the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Peasant Studies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45238204530839,"sku":"9781138108653","price":4068.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138108653.webp?v=1769218973","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/outcomes-of-post-2000-fast-track-land-reform-in-zimbabwe-9781138108653","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
