About the Book

This book brings together renowned scholars from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas to celebrate the lifelong and seminal contribution of Professor Sam Moyo to the social sciences. Sam Moyo was a Zimbabwean scholar whose intellectual trajectory was part and parcel of the emergence of a critical scholarship in political economy from the 1970s onwards based on the realities and intellectual traditions of Africa and the Third World. His work influenced the global research agenda on diverse issues related to Africa and the South. He was a protagonist in the renewal of the pan-Africanist tradition of political economy from the 1990s onwards, and actively defended the importance of research on land and agrarian questions at a time when such issues were being suppressed. He went on to become a leading force in the creation of a South–South dynamic in research collaboration in the 2000s, in defence of the epistemic sovereignty of the South. Professor Moyo conducted research on a wide variety of issues, including structural adjustment, agricultural production and productivity, peasant farming, labour markets, land-use change, environmental change, social movements, the scramble for land and natural resources, and the evolving national questions in the South. The contributors to this book address this whole range of issues raised by Moyo, based on their own research and in the spirit of dialogue with brother Sam.
