“…The course of events after 2000 with the FTLRP obviously threatened to wash over this book and make it irrelevant. Concerned reviewers at the beginning of the millennium worried that this book would be overtaken by events (Cheater, 2002). As it happens, the effects of the FTLRP were so devastating that Working on the margins has become testament to how white farmers and farmworkers existed before 2000.…”

This review essay looks at three recent books on farms, farm labour, and rural livelihoods in southern Africa. The books-Farm labor struggles in Zimbabwe: The ground of politics, by Blair Rutherford; Ordered estates: Welfare, power and maternalism on Zimbabwe's (once white) Highveld, by Andrew M. C. Hartnack; and Zimbabwe's migrants and South Africa's border farms: The roots of impermanence, by MaximBolt-offer a range of insights into labour politics and management, new forms of livelihoods on farms and former farms, and how those living on farms interact with informal economies. Usefully, the books cover events over the past two decades, as well as providing regional insights into important contemporary issues. While the books converge in a number of ways, this essay will focus on two key themes: (i) how they address issues of farm management and labour control; and (ii) they ways in which they explore farmworker agency in times of change and in areas of informality and precarity.
