This book brings together renowned scholars from four continents to
celebrate the lifelong and seminal contribution of Professor Sam Moyo to
the social sciences. The late Prof. Moyo was a Zimbabwean scholar whose
intellectual trajectory was part and parcel of the emergence of a
critical scholarship from the 1970s onward based in the realities and
traditions of Africa and the Third World. His work influenced the global
research agenda on diverse issues related to Africa and the South, and
especially from the 2000s when he actively defended the importance of
research on land and agrarian questions at a time when such issues were
being dismissed as passé. He went on to become a leading force in the
creation of a South-South dynamic in research collaboration, in defense
of the intellectual autonomy and epistemic sovereignty of the South.
