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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObert Bernard Mlambo\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Classical Studies and History at the University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe.
