Debating Land and Agrarian Issues from a Gender Perspective

Author

  • Marjorie Mbilinyi

Abstract

Agrarian studies in Africa today is taking place in the context of an aggressive plunder of resources by national and foreign companies and of other processes of primitive accumulation shaped by the global crisis of capital. This article analyses ongoing gender and class struggles over agricultural commercialization in Tanzania. The article is a tribute to Sam Moyo, whose rigorous scholarship and committed activism was an inspiration for this author, as for many other scholar activists involved in agrarian issues. The analysis here is shaped by transformative feminist analysis/action, which uses gender, class and race analysis intersecting with other social relations, such as age, to understand the changing agrarian political economy and to challenge patriarchy and neoliberal globalization.
