Abstract

This article explores peasant agency during a changing agrarian situation in Zimbabwe. The article pays particular attention to the way landless peasants deployed ‘weapons of the weak’ such as illegal extension of plots beyond the boundaries marked by Ministry of lands officials, encroachment on common grazing lands, and faking membership of the Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) to gain access to land. This demonstrates peasant agency and resistance which has so far received limited attention in the literature.
