The land question in postcolonial Africa, particularly in former settler colonies, has an enduring legacy. To illuminate the enduring dimensions of the land question, this article explores various land recovery options adopted by (former) white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe as they renegotiate access, ownership and control of land expropriated via the Fast Track Land Reform Programme. Zimbabwe has been fluid in handling these recovery options as it strives to reposition the economy and score political goals locally and globally. A transitional justice approach ensures that the contemporary land question, rooted in a historical racialized struggle, is resolved on an equality basis that transcends the current politicized productivist land recovery discourse. As the transitional justice approach takes cognisance of longstanding marginalization and embraces robust institutions that withstand political whims and the test of time, it ensures meaningful policy and practical interventions that confront the contentious land question in Zimbabwe and beyond.

重新审视津巴布韦白人商业农民土地恢复的政治：对过渡正义的影响

后殖民非洲的土地问题，特别是在前定居点的土地问题，具有持久的遗产。为了阐明土地问题的持久性，本文探讨了津巴布韦（前）白人商业农民在重新谈判通过快速通道土地改革计划征地的使用权、所有权和控制权时采用的各种土地回收方案。津巴布韦在努力重新定位经济并在本地和全球范围内实现政治目标时，在处理这些复苏选择方面一直很灵活。过渡正义方法确保植根于历史种族化斗争的当代土地问题在超越当前政治化生产主义土地恢复话语的平等基础上得到解决。
