Abstract

Phase 1 of the Land Reform Programme soon after independence redistributed land previously owned by white farmers to the majority of black Zimbabweans. In understanding this phase, previous studies have emphasised on how it was structured, the tenure systems, the beneficiaries and land use patterns. However, the existing socio-political landscape, livelihoods and well-being of resettled farmers have been understudied. This article examines tensions between resettled farmers and illegal settlers using empirical qualitative data from a case study in the Nyajezi resettlement scheme, Nyanga District. The article presents new forms of conflicts, contestations and marginalisation in resettlement schemes.

从应许之地到危险困境：解读津巴布韦重新安置计划中的紧张关系、争议和边缘化问题

独立后不久，土地改革方案的第一阶段将以前由白人农民拥有的土地重新分配给大多数津巴布韦黑人。为了理解这一阶段，以前的研究强调它的结构、权属制度、受益者和土地使用模式。然而，对重新安置农民的现有社会政治状况、生计和福祉的研究还不够充分。本文利用来自尼扬加区尼亚杰兹安置计划案例研究的经验定性数据，考察了重新安置农民和非法定居者之间的紧张关系。这篇文章介绍了重新安置计划中的新形式的冲突、争论和边缘化。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
