This book examines the dynamics underpinning the implementation of Zimbabwe’s fast track land reforms. By utilising ethnographic data gathered in central Zimbabwe, the book goes beyond the polarised debates which dominated scholarship in the earlier period to highlight the changing livelihoods occasioned by the land reform. The book argues that despite the challenges faced by the newly resettled farmers, the land reform has allowed landless and land-short peasants access to land and other natural resources which were previously enclosed to them under a bi-modal agrarian structure inherited from colonialism.

The Politics of Agrarian Reform in Brazil examines the interrelationships among peasant mobilization, agrarian reform and cooperativism in contemporary Brazil. Specifically, it addresses the challenges facing peasant movements in their pursuit of political and economic democracy. The book takes as a point of reference the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), the most dynamic force for progressive social change in Latin America today. Robles and Veltmeyer argue that the MST has effectively practiced the politics of land occupation and the politics of agricultural cooperativism to consolidate the food sovereignty model of agrarian reform. However, the rapid expansion of the corporate-led agribusiness model, which is supported by Brazil's political elite, has undermined the MST's efforts. The authors argue that despite intense peasant mobilization, agrarian reform remains an unfulfilled political promise in Brazil.

India has experienced the process of economic reforms for more than a decade. Since 1991, Indian society has passed through rapid social upheaval owing to liberalization, privatization, globalization, advanced information technology, consumerism, etc. The economic reforms have accelerated the process of social transformation which, in turn, has thrown a big challenge to social scientists for understanding the new social order. This collection of papers examines the social transformation in India. The book is divided into three sections: agrarian and rural transformations; rural power structure and transformation of the excluded; and population, gender, empowerment, and transformation. In each section, the editor raises certain issues for critical examination which are analyzed in the contributors' papers. The book is an important contribution towards the developing debate on economic reforms in India, which is essentially unequal and marginalizing besides being anti-poor.
