- This monograph of 100,000 words was developed over the decade 2005-15. The author carried out 17 months of immersive ethnographic fieldwork on the Zimbabwe-South Africa border, centred on a single commercial farm. Observations were complemented by surveys, interviews and archival research, and interpreted through multiple fields of inter-disciplinary literature, including labour history, agrarian studies, border studies, and migration studies, as well as economic anthropology. This primary research and inter-disciplinary interpretation was crucial for the analysis of everyday experiences and negotiations of Zimbabwean migrant workers within the regional political economy.
