Abstract: This paper embarks on a comparative analysis of land alienation in three settler colonies namely Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa. This article is a five-part work. The first part of this work highlights the definitions and importance of land studies in Africa. Land as a factor of production is the mother of all crises in Africa. The second part of this work outlines the history of settlers in South Africa,
Zimbabwe and Kenya. Dutch-East India Company, British South Africa Company and British East Africa Company were all actors in the setting up of settlers in Africa. The third part of this work examines the similarities and differences among the various settler colonies in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya in Africa. The fourth part of this work reviews the causes of land alienation in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya. The causes and course revealed that disputes grew out of hostilities over land invasion. And the final part of this research is an appraisal of the colonial enterprise in settler colonies. A multidisciplinary approach to historical writing will be employed in this research to interrogate the facts and arrive at an objective conclusion.
