The author reveals how the dynamics generated by fast-track potentially offer new development opportunities – specifically for women. The findings challenge existing expert notions and opinions about women’s rural land use, livelihoods, and rural development. The book examines how negotiations and bargaining by women with family, state, and traditional actors have proved useful in accessing land in Mwenezi district, Zimbabwe. The hidden, complex, and innovative ways adopted by women to access land and shape livelihoods based on transitory mobility are examined. The role of collective action, conflicts, conflict resolution, and women’s agency in overcoming the challenges associated with trading in South Africa are examined within the ambit of the sustainable livelihoods framework, a gendered approach to land reform and social networks analysis.Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;Volume 32.Land reformZimbabweAgriculture and stateZimbabweWomen in agricultureZimbabweWomenZimbabweEconomic conditions21st centuryMigration, InternalZimbabweElectronic books.Land reformAgriculture and stateWomen in agricultureWomenEconomic conditionsMigration, Internal333.31096891Mutopo Patience922575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463516803321Women, mobility and rural livelihoods in Zimbabwe2070169UNINA
