Segregated Species: Pests, Knowledge and Boundaries in South Africa, 1910–1948
Politics, Techno-Science, and the Environment: The Late Twentieth-Century Challenges of Locust Control in Post-Colonial Southern Africa
This article tells the history of the management of invasive locust swarms in southern Africa in the 1970s and early 1980s. It examines the threats the pests posed to African livelihoods and the challenges in combating them. The article argues that in the 1970s, postcolonial southern African states’ attempts to manage the environment with the help of international organizations were intimately tied to the region’s experiences under colonial rule,…

Money in South-Central Africa, 1890-1931: Africans, Imperial Sterling, and Colonial Economy-Building
In South-Central Africa, British mining companies shadowed colonial monetization in an assertive and coercive manner. In the emerging settler states, African money users were obliged to adjust to colonial money for the payment of tax and transactions. Yet they often found it difficult to obtain access to colonial currency. Company rule in the region was initially closely connected to the South African economy, but currencies separated as a result…
Narratives, Rituals and Political Imaginations: The Social and Political World of the Vashona of North-Eastern Zimbabwe from the 16th to the 19th Centuries
This article is about power in pre-colonial polities of the Chishona-speaking people who lived in the north-eastern parts of the Zimbabwean plateau from the late 16th century to the end of the 19th century. It is an examination of how ruling lineages rationalised their claims to authority and how their subjects and others contested those claims. Paying attention to chiefly lineages’ narratives and to ritual politics central to social health and t…
The Politics of African Freehold Land Ownership in Early Colonial Zimbabwe, 1890–1930
Drawing on a range of archival sources, this article examines the experiences of Africans who purchased land under freehold tenure and the debates that this generated among white settlers in early colonial Zimbabwe. In doing so, the article addresses the question of peasant differentiation, rural authority and colonial anxieties over power and African economic competition and the policing of white settlers’ sexual behaviours. By focusing on Afric…

The Trajectories of Land Reforms in Southern Africa's Former Settler Colonies
Land remains one of the most hotly contested resources in former settler colonies. This is, in part, a legacy of settler colonialism, which facilitated the large-scale expropriation of indigenous l
Law, expertise, and settler conflicts over land in early colonial Zimbabwe, 1890-1923
Using archival sources, this paper examines the uses of law and expert knowledge in conflicts over land among officials and settlers in early colonial Zimbabwe. Land settlement laws, together with European colonists' relations with Africans resident on their farms, became a focal point of the British South Africa Company's (BSAC) engagements with settlers leading to conflicts over what constituted proper land utilization and the boundaries of aut…
