Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Farm Labor Struggles in Zimbabwe: The Ground of Politics. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the early twenty-first century, white-owned farms in Zimbabwe were subject to large-scale occupations by black urban dwellers in an increasingly violent struggle between national electoral politics, land reform, and contestations over democracy.
