Abstract
We are grateful for the assistance that many people afforded us during this
book project. Invaluable comments were received from various Zimbabwean
researchers and activists at a workshop convened by the African Institute for
Agrarian Studies (AIAS) in December 2009 in Harare. We received extensive
feedback on some chapters from participants in the annual Agrarian Studies
Summer School between 2009 and 2012 in Harare, Dar es Salaam and
Grahamstown (Rhodes University). In this regard, special thanks are due
to Issa Shivji and Ngwanza Kamata (University of Dar es Salaam), Dzodzi
Tsikata (University of Ghana), Praveen Jha (Jawaharlal Nehru University),
Fred Hendricks (Rhodes University), Lungisile Ntsebeza (University of Cape
Town) and Marcelo Rosa and Antonadia Borges (University of Brasilia) for
their critical comments. Shepherd Siziba and Godfrey Mahofa of the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Extension at the University of Zimbabwe assisted us with
some of the statistical analyses
