Strangers, Spirits, and Land Reforms: Conflicts about Land in Dande, Northern Zimbabwe

by Marja J. Spierenburg

This book describes efforts by the Zimbabwean government to enforce land reforms on African farmers. These compounded the land issue it now allegedly seeks to redress through invasions of white-owned farms. The reforms led to local resistance in which spirit mediums played an important role.
