The study centres on the body of the soldier, the cultural production of images and representations of gender which advance theoretical discussions around war, masculinity and violence. Mlambo employs a transcultural comparative approach based on a persistent factor found in both societies: land expropriation. Often articulated in a framework of patriarchy, land appropriation takes place in the context of war-shaped masculinities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book fosters a deeper understanding of social processes, adding an important new perspective to the study of military violence, and paying attention to veterans' claims for rewards and compensation. These claims are developed in the context of war and its direct consequences, namely expropriation, confiscation and violence. \u003ci\u003eLand Expropriation in Ancient Rome and Contemporary Zimbabwe\u003c\/i\u003econtributes to current efforts to decolonise knowledge construction by revealing that a non-Western perspective can broaden our understanding of veterans, war, violence, land and gender in classical culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Obert Bernard Mlambo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350291897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350291898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Obert Bernard Mlambo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761206358271,"sku":"9781350291898","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7c93afa-79b0-4adf-9937-c75a7aba8683.jpg?v=1706680677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-expropriation-in-ancient-rome-obert-bernard-mlambo-9781350291898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
