This was a key moment in the Europeanisation of Mutirikwi's landscapes, which had begun with colonial land appropriations in the 1890s. But African landscapes were not obliterated by the dam. They remained active and affective. At independence in 1980, local clans reasserted ancestral land claims in a wave of squatting around Lake Mutirikwi. They were soon evicted as the new government asserted control over the remaking of Mutirikwi's landscapes. Amid fast-track land reform in the 2000s, the same people returned again to reclaim the land. Many returned to the graves and ruins of past lives forged in the very substance of the soil, and even incoming war veterans and new farmers appealed to autochthonous knowledge to make safe their resettlements. This book explores those reoccupations and the complex contests over landscape, water and belonging they provoked Economic development Social aspects Zimbabwe Mutirikwi River Natural resources Zimbabwe Mutirikwi River Management Land use Zimbabwe Mutirikwi River Land reform Zimbabwe History Land tenure Zimbabwe Mutirikwi River Economic development Social aspects fast Land reform fast Land tenure fast Land use fast Natural resources Management fast Land reform Zimbabwe Landscape irrigation Landscapes Zimbabwe Zimbabwe fast Zimbabwe Mutirikwi River fast BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB B410 B410 410LF ET ROT WA 4.4 NELB501ET1912 IDSBB 100 1- Fontein Joost Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Eastern Africa series SWISSBIB 338793550 ORANGE 338793550
