The book provides empirically-rich case studies of the lives and
livelihoods of marginalised ethnic minorities in colonial and
post-colonial Zimbabwe, with a specific focus on diverse rural
areas. It demonstrates the dynamic and complex relationships
existing between ethnic minorities and livelihoods, and analyses
the ways in which projects of belonging (and identity-formation)
amongst these ethnic minorities are entangled in their respective
livelihood construction projects, and vice versa. The ethnic
minorities include those considered indigenous to Zimbabwe, and
those often defined as 'aliens', including ethnicities with a
transnational presence in southern Africa. The ethnicities studied
in the book include the following: Chewa, Doma, Tonga, Tshwa San,
Shangane, Basotho, Ndau, Hlengwe and Nambya. By studying their
livelihoods in particular, this book offers the first full
manuscript about ethnic minorities in Zimbabwe. In doing so, it
highlights the significance of these ethnic minorities to
Zimbabwean history, politics and society.
