本文根据更广泛的农业问题考察了“劳工问题”，重点是如何理解工会、非政府组织和政党作为寻求动员农场工人的关键行动者的活动。根据对津巴布韦农场工人的研究，并结合2000年以来该国大规模农业的剧烈变化中有关农场劳动力的文献，本文强调了研究影响农场外组织与农场工人合作的行动和能力的更广泛的政治领域的重要性。通过批判性地与有关农业劳动力政治经济学的更广泛文献进行接触，本文提出了关注所谓的“归属感的文化政治”的重要性，它强烈地塑造了农场工人和农场居民对农场的依恋形式，以及这些组织采取的动员和遣散策略。通过关注这种关系和更广泛的政治领域，本文提出了一种替代分析，以取代目前在关于农场工人和津巴布韦快速通道土地再分配计划的两极分化文献中发现的分析。
This paper examines the ‘labour question’ in light of the wider agrarian questions, with a focus on the ways to understand activities of trade unions, NGOs and political parties as key actors in seeking to mobilize farmworkers. Drawing on research on farmworkers in Zimbabwe and engaging with literature concerning farm labour in the drastic changes to large-scale agriculture in this country since 2000, the paper emphasizes the importance of examining the wider terrain of politics that influences the actions and abilities of extra-farm organizations to operate with farmworkers. Through critically engaging with the wider literature concerning the political economy of farm labour, the paper proposes the importance of attending to what it calls the ‘cultural politics of belonging’, which strongly shapes both the forms of attachment of farmworkers and farm dwellers to the farms and the strategies of mobilization and demobilization taken by these organizations. Through attending to such relationships and the wider terrain of politics, this paper proposes an alternative analysis to those currently found in the polarized literature on farmworkers and the Fast Track Land Redistribution Programme in Zimbabwe.
