Social movements and civic organizations often face profound
strategy dilemmas that can hamper their effectiveness and prevent
them from contributing to transformative change and peace. In
Zimbabwe two particular dilemmas have fed into and fueled
destructive processes of political polarization - dividing society,
leadership, and decision-makers well beyond its borders. As
conceptualized in this study, the first is whether to prioritize
political or economic rights in efforts to bring about
transformative change (rights/redistribution). The second is
whether and how to work with government and/or donors given their
political, economic, and social agendas (participation /
resistance). This book investigates these issues through two social
movement organizations - the National Constitutional Assembly and
the Zimbabwe National War Veterans' Association - and the movements
they led to achieve constitutional change and radical land
redistribution. Through in-depth case study analysis and peace and
conflict impact assessment spanning the years 1997-2010, lessons
are drawn for activists, practitioners, policy-makers, and scholars
interested in depolarizing concepts underpinning polarizing
discourses, transcending strategy dilemmas, and understanding how
social action can better contribute to transformative change and
peace.
