Abstract:This paper analyses the context of social differentiation in which agricultural production takes place in rural Zimbabwe. Crops are grown and livestock raised under conditions partly determined by divisions set in village life along lines of gender and class, a fact rarely noted by policy analysts, but highlighted here. Through a village case study the paper analyses the ways in which production and reproduction overlap in reality, if not conceptually. The village under study is located near Musami, approximately 70 kilometres northeast from Harare. The paper summarizes aspects of the relations of production and reproduction in the village, demonstrates the degree to which production and reproduction exist as a unity and part of the same social contract, and presents an analysis of these in terms of the interaction of gender and class.
