自2000年以来，黑人擅自占用者强行占领了津巴布韦各地的白人农场，重新引发了种族剥夺、土地权和解放遗留问题。唐纳德·s·摩尔通过分析该国东部高地关于领土、主权和臣服的激烈争端，探讨了这些有争议的政治。他把重点放在了卡雷齐的贫穷农民身上。这些农民在津巴布韦游击战期间忍受了殖民主义的驱逐，离开了祖传的土地，并作为难民在莫桑比克生活。在1980年独立后，卡雷兹人回到家乡，看到的是一片改变了的风景。后殖民时期的官僚们把他们的土地从白色的牧场变成了国家安置计划。那些违抗这种新空间秩序的人受到驱逐的威胁。摩尔展示了卡雷兹人的位置困境是如何以“为领土而受苦”的记忆为中心的，这是一个关于身份和权利的习语。结合细致的民族志与创新的理论见解，这本书阐明了复杂的相互联系之间的权力的地方实践和殖民统治，民族主义政治和全球话语的发展更广泛的力量。
Since 2000, black squatters have forcibly occupied white farms across Zimbabwe, reigniting questions of racialized dispossession, land rights, and legacies of liberation. Donald S. Moore probes these contentious politics by analyzing fierce disputes over territory, sovereignty, and subjection in the country’s eastern highlands. He focuses on poor farmers in Kaerezi who endured colonial evictions from their ancestral land and lived as refugees in Mozambique during Zimbabwe’s guerrilla war. After independence in 1980, Kaerezians returned home to a changed landscape. Postcolonial bureaucrats had converted their land from a white ranch into a state resettlement scheme. Those who defied this new spatial order were threatened with eviction. Moore shows how Kaerezians’ predicaments of place pivot on memories of “suffering for territory,” at once an idiom of identity and entitlement. Combining fine-grained ethnography with innovative theoretical insights, this book illuminates the complex interconnections between local practices of power and the wider forces of colonial rule, nationalist politics, and global discourses of development.
Moore makes a significant contribution to postcolonial theory with his conceptualization of “entangled landscapes” by articulating racialized rule, situated sovereignties, and environmental resources. Fusing Gramscian cultural politics and Foucault’s analytic of governmentality, he enlists ethnography to foreground the spatiality of power. Suffering for Territory demonstrates how emplaced micro-practices matter, how the outcomes of cultural struggles are contingent on the diverse ways land comes to be inhabited, labored upon, and suffered for.
