Abstract
Fast Track Land Occupations in Zimbabwe is a detailed and well-thought-out comparative study of the fi rst, second and third Z vimurenga . In this book Helliker, Bhatasara and Chiweshe vividly discuss the decentralisation of the Zvimurenga , by moving away from the dogmatic and romanticised views of ‘ nationalist historiography ’ to the ‘ histography of nationalism ’ . This book is unique in that it is the fi rst ever study to compare the three land struggles in Zimbabwe. Throughout the book, the authors make logical connections to the Zvimurenga . Not only does the book focus on the land struggle, but it also examines land dynamics and processes of land alienation in the intervening periods between Zvimurenga
