Abstract

Conflict over interpretations of how land is used and how it should be used has formed a major barrier to understanding between the peasantry and the state since the origin of the colonial state in Zimbabwe. In Chapter 2 I argued that the colonial state’s pursuit of technical development policies was influenced not only by the political ends the government wished to achieve, but also by the purposive rationalisation employed by the state. The white authorities acted collusively and coercively: only in the early 1960s was it briefly acknowledged that the peasantry might hold not only an alternative, but a credible view of the world.
