LAUNCH INVITATION
Wits University Press invite you to the launch of Maxim Bolt’s book Zimbabwe’s Migrants and South Africa’s Border Farms: The Roots of Impermanence
During the Zimbabwean crisis, millions crossed through the border fence to South Africa, searching for work as farm labourers. In a time of intensified pressures on commercial agriculture in South Africa following market liberalization and post-apartheid land reform, Maxim Bolt
explores the lives of migrant labourers and settled black farm workers and their dependants as they intersect with those of white farmers and managers on the Zimbabwean-South African border .
Join us for a conversation with Maxim Bolt as he discusses, with Tara Polzer (research director at Social Surveys Africa) and Eric Worby (Professor of Anthropology at Wits), the role of wage labour in a place of crisis. How do people create homes and stability in times of mass unemployment and uncertainty?
WHEN:Wednesday 11th May 2016, 18:00 to 19:30pm
WHERE:WiSER Seminar Room, 6th Floor, Richard Ward Building,
East Campus, Wits University. Drinks will be served.
RSVP:by Monday 9 May to [email protected]
