Plunder for Profit
In Plunder for Profit: A Socio-environmental History of Tobacco Farming in Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe, Elijah Doro examines the effects of tobacco farming on rural physical and social landscapes. He draws on the experiences of tobacco stakeholders across the colonial-postcolonial divide to frame “farming landscapes as socio-environmental sites of struggle on which human and nature interact to produce not only new ecosystems and environment ch…
The Political Economy of Farmland Taxation in Colonial and Postcolonial Zimbabwe, 1914–32 and 1980–c. 2018
This article contributes to the existing literature on the political economy of Zimbabwe by focusing on a hitherto understudied area, land taxation. While scholars have written extensively on the political economy of land in general, not much is available on debates around its taxation. Those that have written on the land question have paid less attention to its taxation. Similarly, recent works on the colony's fiscal system lack the scope for a …
The Political Economy of Postwar Southern Rhodesia
This article focuses on the events of 1949 in the Southern Rhodesia tobacco industry. In that year, the Southern Rhodesian government under Godfrey Huggins unilaterally announced the imposition of an export tax on the colony’s tobacco industry. This triggered opposition and resistance among various economic interest groups in the colony in what later became known as the 1949 Tobacco Tax Crisis. By tracing how the crisis unfolded, the article cont…

Southern Rhodesia and Britain’s Discriminatory Sterling Area
Drawing on archival material from the National Archives of Zimbabwe, Adam Matthews Digital Archives and newspaper reports, this study locates Southern Rhodesia’s tobacco industry within post-war currency developments and the politics of international trade. Following the Second World War, the shift in the financial balance of economic power triggered by the shift from the gold standard to the reformed gold standard had a lasting impact on global …
Beyond the State? Organised Settler Tobacco Interests and the Consolidation of Southern Rhodesia's Tobacco Industry in the Early Post-Second World War Years
Scholars have emphasised the role of the colonial state in explaining the development of white settler agriculture in general and the tobacco industry in particular in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Indeed, through a plethora of laws, ordinances and extra-judicial interventions, the colonial state provided both direct and indirect support, mostly to white farmers at the expense of African interests. More recently, studies have broadened this a…
This is where all the white farmers come to die
Throughout the pre-independence era, commercial tobacco growing remained an exclusively white enterprise in Zimbabwe. The situation did not substantially change with the advent of majority rule in 1980. Commercial agriculture in general, and tobacco growing in particular, continued to be dominated by a few large-scale white farmers. However, the situation was to change drastically following the adoption by the Robert Mugabe regime of the fast-tra…
Rural Women, Global Value Networks and Precarity in Chirumhanzu District, Zimbabwe, 1991-2000
In 1991 Zimbabwe liberalised its economy. This resulted in the opening of the national economy to foreign investment. In line with this, subcontracting arrangements between international corporations and local commodity producers became prevalent. While this attracted scholarly interest, most of it is on global agricultural value networks. By tracing the integration of rural women knitters into international markets, this article offers a differe…
We Must Adapt to Survive”
Rhodesia’s unilateral declaration of independence from Britain in 1965 and the sanctions it triggered have generated much scholarship. While the international dimension of sanctions has received substantial scholarly attention, what has been little accounted for are the various initiatives adopted by local non-state actors in pursuit of their self-interests. Covering three distinct but related phases in the history of Rhodesian sanctions—the buil…
