Communities that were once the target of postcolonial development schemes still contend with the legacies of these interventions, long after such projects have been abandoned. This article looks at the afterlife of Israeli-led agricultural cooperatives that were initiated in the Zambian Copperbelt during the 1960s. Although these schemes collapsed in the decade following their establishment, local communities are still coping with the history of their rise and fall. In the Kafubu Block and Kafulafuta, the physical, social, and economic landscapes resonate with the successes and failures of this modernist planning. The schemes continue to provide a fundamental and contentious point of reference in both individual and community lives. A long-term perspective on the communities’ continued engagement with the legacies of the abandoned schemes deepens our understanding of development's complex “afterlife,” and demonstrates how the past retains its relevance by taking on different meanings over time.

发展阴影:赞比亚铜带崩溃的发展项目的来世

曾经是后殖民发展计划目标的社区在这些项目被放弃很久之后仍然与这些干​​预措施的遗产作斗争。本文着眼于 1960 年代在赞比亚铜带建立的以以色列为首的农业合作社的来世。尽管这些计划在其成立后的十年中崩溃了,但当地社区仍在应对其兴衰的历史。在 Kafubu Block 和 Kafulafuta,自然、社会和经济景观与这种现代主义规划的成功和失败产生共鸣。这些计划继续为个人和社区生活提供一个基本的和有争议的参考点。
