Agrarian alarmism and transnational right-wing solidarity: The myth of “white genocide” and expropriation in South Africa
This paper examines agrarian alarmism – a discursive and political strategy through which actors frame progressive agrarian reform and rural conflict as existential threats, whether to food security, national stability, or the survival of specific social groups. Agrarian alarmism mobilizes political sympathy, shapes public opinion, and justifies intervention by exaggerating or fabricating threats. Using South Africa as a case study, the paper ana…
Bridging divides against erratic democratic trajectories: The politics of rural and urban social movements in Southern Africa
This article examines the complex relationship between social and popular movements in Southern Africa across sectors and geographies amid erratic democracy. It analyzes how these sectorial and geographical divides undermine collective strategies and shape the contested legitimacy of neoliberal or undemocratic authorities. The article considers struggles over service delivery, housing, and accountability, as well as movements for land rights, nat…

Resisting agrarian neoliberalism and authoritarianism: Struggles towards a progressive rural future in Mozambique
After nearly two and a half decades with a Land Law widely considered progressive, Mozambique is preparing to revise its legal framework for land. Land activists accuse the government of pursuing an authoritarian approach, excluding civil society participation, and falsifying public consultations. The revision would mark a major shift in Mozambique's land policy towards an even more neoliberal framework to allow the transfer of individual land ti…
Transforming critical agrarian studies: Solidarity, scholar-activism and emancipatory agendas in and from the Global South
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities faced by critical agrarian scholars in and from the Global South. We argue that despite the historical and structural limitations, the critical juncture of convergence of crises and renewed interest in agrarian political economies offers an opportunity for fostering a diverse research agenda that opens space for critical perspectives about, from and by the Global South, which is mostly absent i…

Confronting agrarian authoritarianism: Dynamics of resistance to PROSAVANA in Mozambique
This paper explores how varying degrees of authoritarianism and populism, although not always coinciding, have been intrinsic to the imposition of agrarian policies in Mozambique. Taking the case of ProSAVANA, a highly controversial agrarian development program, we look at how its undemocratic imposition by the state has given rise to a vigorous resistance movement. By tracing a decade of electoral results in selected districts where ProSAVANA is…
Movimentos sociais, sociedade civil e espaço público em Moçambique: Uma Análise Crítica
A Constituição da República de Moçambique e a legislação específica garantem aos moçambicanos liberdades várias, nomeadamente a liberdade de associação, de manifestação, de expressão, de imprensa e o direito à informação. A criação de associações, comummente chamadas organizações da sociedade civil, é encorajada, mas ao mesmo tempo suas ações não parecem ser tão livres como consagra a lei. O Estado conserva o direito ao controle, à limitação e à …
