Zimbabwe's nationalist and post-colonial ambitions have been
largely defined by land reform. Allison Goebel assesses Zimbabwe's
successes and failures in incorporating gender issues into the
broader project of land redistribution. Based on fieldwork in the
Sengezi resettlement area in east central Zimbabwe in the late
1990s and 2002, Gender and Land Reform situates gender within the
larger issues of race, class, and international political economy.
Goebel examines the social forces and effects of the resettlement
process, including state policy and legislation, customary norms
and practices, local institutions, and ideologies and cosmologies.
Her study emphasizes the strategic choices women make in new
institutional and household contexts and considers the interests of
poor women who have been marginalized within the land reform
process.
