Other developments are taking place in Malaya. Naturally, villagisation is at first often resisted by those who are compelled to live in the new villages; nobody likes being torn up by the roots.
In late 1984, the Ethiopian government began a program of villagization which was intended to regroup the scattered homesteads, small hamlets and traditional villages of the entire countryside into a completely new pattern of grid-plan villages, laid out in accordance with central directives.
2012, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, In the House of the Interpreter: A Memoir, New York: Knopf Doubleday, 2015, Chapter 13, p. 36,
Villagization, the innocuous name the colonial state gave to the forced internal displacement, was sprung on the Kenyan people in 1955, […] but living within the walls of the school, I had not heard about the agents of the state bulldozing people’s homes or torching them when the owners refused to participate in the demolition.
