Book synopsis

Grand theories such as neo-patrimonialism that§converge on the state penetration of society, have§dominated debates on resource allocation models in§Africa. Such grand theories have failed to account§for the trajectories of the different countries and§they risk losing validity as they cannot capture the§variations and the determinant factors across§countries. This book details how a different resource§allocation model shaped by the liberation culture ,§a culture that originated in the violent exile§liberation struggles in southern Africa, influences§housing land allocation. In the liberation culture ,§the ruling parties networks shape, prioritise and§determine who gets state resources and it has an§exclusivist orientation that engenders the formation§of new political identities thereby constructing a§new conception of citizenship. This comparative work§demonstrates how service seekers in South Africa and§Zimbabwe assume new identities that facilitate access§to housing resources. The emphasis is on how the§party penetrates the state and society. Academics,§students and housing delivery professionals will§find this book useful in understanding the post§liberation war state.
