Issue Date: | 20-Sep-2024 | Publisher: | Taylor and Francis Group | Abstract: | The capitalist sytem has been underwritten by unpaid social reproduction labour mostly provided by women. This article deploys social reproduction theory (SRT) to systematically review scholarly literature on Zimbabwe's fast track land reform programme (FTLRP) published since 2011. Research evidence indicates reasonable improvement on women's access to and control of land, but whether or not FTLPRP led to a more egalitarian division of social reproduction labour remains to be researched. The paper concludes by proposing a new research agenda on the shifting boundaries between workplace and home, paid and unpaid labour, for women on post-FTLRP farms. | Description: | This paper was developed from a paper presented at the African Studies Association of the UK (ASAUK) biennial conference at the University of Birmingham, 11–13 September 2018, courtesy of a generous Travel Grant from Midlands State University’s Research Board. | URI: | https://cris.library.msu.ac.zw//handle/11408/6418 |
