This book explores how a British land investment in Tanzania's Iringa region
reshapes access to common pool resources. Using feminist political ecology, New
Institutionalism, and Neo-Marxist theory, it examines gendered impacts on land use,
food security, and resilience. From pre-colonial times to present, it traces changing
institutional arrangements. Drawing on Scott's Weapons of the Weak and Ferguson's
Anti-Politics Machine, it highlights local resistance and power dynamics in large-scale
land deals.

D'esir'ee Gmür holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Bern, Switzerland and
is a senior lecturer and researcher at the Institute of Social Anthropology and Empirical Cultural
Studies (ISEK) at the University of Zurich.
