Here Matthew Wingfield shows how a group of environmental activists used the drought to highlight their concerns over unequal access to water and the misuses of water for large companies and commercial farms. In so doing, he provides new, granular insights into the intersecting issues of land access, water access, and other kinds of natural resource use, and thus suggests some new directions applicable throughout the Global South for how working-class activism and small-scale farming can reorganize the connection between water and land in a country characterised by historical dispossession. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eebook\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e editions of this book are \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eavailable\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eopen access\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003elicence\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e on bloomsburycollections.com. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOpen access\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Wingfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350576913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350576919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Matthew Wingfield","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801462747391,"sku":"9781350576919","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobilizing-the-day-zero-drought-matthew-wingfield-9781350576919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
