This book is based on iterative multi-sited ethnography at Merrivale farm, Tavaka
village, and various sites in South Africa. The author reveals how the dynamics generated
by fast-track potentially offer new development opportunities 挙6; specifically for
women. The findings challenge existing expert notions and opinions about women挙2;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挙2;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
