The Land Reform Deception

Political Opportunism in Zimbabwe's Land Seizure Era

Beschreibung

Why did President Robert Mugabe risk the social and economic wellbeing of Zimbabwe by forcibly seizing nearly all commercial farms in the nation? Why did he then redistribute the farmland to those with little or no farming experience? The Land Reform Deception offers compelling answers to these questions by drawing from an extensive set of empirical data, including interviews with both farmers and government officials.
