'a fascinating book, rich in complex detail and full of fascinating stories from the
field. For understanding the complex cultural and political histories underlying
land reform in southern Zimbabwe, this is a vitally important contribution.' -
Professor Ian Scoones, Institute of Development Studies, University of
Sussex
'provides an unusually nuancedinsight into central topics in the understanding
of rural Africa today: land, landscape, and belonging.’ - Professor Heike
Schmidt, Lecturer in Modem History, University of Reading
The Mutirikwi river was dammed in 1960 to make Zimbabwe's second
largest lake, a key moment in the 'Europeanisation' of its landscapes. But
African landscapes were not obliterated, they remained active and
affective. At independence in 1980, local clans reasserted ancestral land
claims in a wave of squatting around the lake. Though evicted as the new
government asserted control over the remaking of Mutirikwi's
landscapes, during the fast-track land reform in the 2000s, they again
reclaimed the land. Many returned to the graves and ruins of past lives
forged in the soil, and even incoming war veterans and new farmers
appealed to autochthonous knowledge to make safe their resettlements.
Alongside this 're-Africanisation' of Lake Mutirikwi, white presence also
remains active through Rhodesia-era discourses, place-names and the
materialities of ruined farms, contour ridging and old irrigation schemes.
This book explores contests over land, water and belonging in the
ongoing remaking of Mutirikwi's landscapes, revealing how this has
always been deeply entangled with changing strategies of colonial and
postcolonial statecraft.
Joost Fontein is Director of the British Institute in Eastern Africa and
Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh.
