Book launch: Zimbabwe's migrants and South Africa's border farms - the roots of impermanence

Wits University Press and the Wits Institute of Social and Economic Research will host the launch of Maxim Bolt’s book.

During the Zimbabwean crisis, millions crossed the border to South Africa, searching for work as farm labourers. In a time of intensified pressures on commercial agriculture in South Africa following market liberalisation and post-apartheid land reform, Bolt explores the lives of migrant labourers and settled black farm workers and their dependents as they intersect with those of white farmers and managers on the Zimbabwean-South African border. 

Bolt will be in discussion with Tara Polzer (Research Director at Social Surveys Africa) and Eric Worby (Professor of Anthropology at Wits).More information.
