Zimbabwe--state, Class, and Gendered Models of Land ResettlementWomen in International Development, Michigan State University, 1988 - Agriculture, Cooperative - 32 pages This paper analyzes state policies toward women in Zimbabwe and uses the land resettlement (land reform) program as an example of how different policies affect gender relations. Both Model A (individual family farming) and Model B (production cooperatives) are discussed. I argue that state policies have been ambiguous with respect to women, in some respects benefiting and in some respects undermining their autonomy -- which is, in any case, limited. This ambiguity reflects the instability of the ruling stratum's own position and the differing ideological influences to which it is subject. |
