虽然津巴布韦的“快速土地改革方案”对农村发展的影响引起了激烈的辩论，但缺乏关注土地改革后手工和小规模采金业与农业之间相互关系的文献。本文讨论了不断增长的手工和小规模采金业，概括为“mari yaputika”/“黄金爆炸”，研究了“解放”以前农村穷人无法进入的农业地区的矿产资源的影响。借鉴在Mhondoro Ngezi区的研究，我们主张更微妙地理解小农农业/小规模手工业与不断变化的劳动力和阶级动态的联系，挑战那些认识不到手工采矿和农业多方面相互关联的账户。
While the rural development consequences of Zimbabwe's Fast Track Land Reform Programme have been heavily debated, there is a dearth of literature focusing on the post-land reform inter-relations between artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and farming. This article discusses the growing ASGM sector, encapsulated by the phrase 'mari yaputika'/'gold has detonated', examining the impacts of 'liberating' mineral resources in farming areas previously inaccessible to the rural poor. Drawing on research in Mhondoro Ngezi District, we argue for more subtle understandings of smallholder farming/ASGM linkages in relation to changing labour and class dynamics, challenging accounts that under-recognise the multifaceted interconnectedness of artisanal mining and farming.
