Ten years on, the deal was abruptly abandoned. Popularly deemed a case of hubristic global development, critics classified this project another in a line of failed modern resource grabs. Youjin B. Chung argues such tidy accounts conceal myriad and profound implications: not only how gender, history, and culture shaped the project's trajectory, but also how, even in its stalled state, the deal upended social life on the land by setting in motion incomplete processes of development and dispossession. With rich ethnographic detail and visual storytelling, Sweet Deal, Bitter Landscape traces the lived experiences of diverse rural women and men as they struggled for survival under a seemingly endless condition of liminality. In so doing, she raises critical questions about the directions and stakes of postcolonial development and nation-building in Tanzania, and the shifting meanings of identity and belonging for those on the margins of capitalist agrarian transformation. 410 0$aCornell series on land. 606 $aLand tenure$xSocial aspects$zTanzania 606 $aRural development$xPolitical aspects$zTanzania 606 $aRural development$zTanzania 606 $aWomen$zTanzania$xSocial conditions 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Geography$2bisacsh 610 $aagrarian politics, global land grab, coastal Tanzania, international deals, liminality, feminist perspective. 615 0$aLand tenure$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRural development$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Geography. 676 $a307.141209678 700 $aChung$b Youjin B.$f1987-$01461281 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765434703321 996 $aSweet Deal, Bitter Landscape$93665443 997 $aUNINA
