Development Outcomes of Zimbabwe's Fast-Track Land Reform Programme

From a development perspective, this book clearly outlines and analyses the anomalies and unfairness of land distribution created by the colonial government based on racial grounds, proceeding to the struggle by the black majority Zimbabweans against the dispossession of their land, ultimately culminating in the infamous "Fast-Track Land Reform Programme". The book therefore covers the background to Zimbabwe's highly controversial land reform programme and proceeds to examine and expose the political struggles that followed, as well as the circumstances prevailing and surrounding the land reform and "land grab" as perceived in some circles. It also exposes and analyses the way that the process panned out, the pros and cons of the method used, and the subsequent social and economic consequence of the process on the lives of the people of Zimbabwe as the country's economy was plunged into unprecedented hyperinflation affecting all spheres of human development. The book, figuratively and effectively, demonstrates the socio-economic impact of this land reform programme on the country and its general populace.
