Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Africa land is being commodified: private ownership is replacing communal and customary tenure; Farms are turned into collateral for rural credit markets. Law reform is at the heart of this revolution. The Politics of Land Reform in Africa casts a critical spotlight on this profound change in African land economy. The book illuminates the key role of legislators, legal consultants and academics in tenure reform. These players exert their influence by translating the economic and regulatory interests of the World Bank, civil society groups and commercial lenders in to questions of law. Drawing on political economy and actor-network theory The Politics of Land Reform in Africa is an indispensable contribution to the study of agrarian change in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are women's fragile land rights in Africa being eroded in a period of privatisation and land reforms sponsored by the World Bank? Changing global employment and trade patters and the HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected women in particular. A complexity is that women's and men's interests within households are both joint and separate, yet many land reform programmes are based on the notion of a unitary household in which resources benefit the whole family. Today new land market opportunities also tend to put women at a disadvantage, just as they were under colonialism. Women's secondary rights to land are being extinguished. The detailed, local level research in this volume not only challenges the status quo, but demonstrates that another world is possible and documents the many ways women in Eastern Africa are finding to ensure their rights to land.

Download or read book The Issue of Collective Land Ownership Under African Customary Land Law written by Fonja Julius Achu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customary landholding generally connotes the various methods of acquisition and use including rights and duties that may accrue to any individual or group within a particular society in relation to land. Customary land law in Africa in general and Cameroon in particular has existed for centuries, serving as an integral part of traditional agricultural economies. African customary land law recognizes the fact that land in Africa is owned collectively by a family, village or community and not by an individual. Therefore, an individual's title to land is rare under African customary law in general and Cameroon in particular. Individual ownership of land under African customary land law is a feature of modernization. This paper investigates why land is still mostly held collectively by a family, village or community and not by an individual under customary law. The author accomplishes this by perusing records mainly from documentary and internet search. The data collected constitutes the sources from which customary and statutory law rules are drawn, stated and analyzed in the light of the stated aim of the paper. The results inter alia identify that land is held principally by the family and community under customary law and that the genesis of individual ownership is a product of modernism. The results are significant because they expose the weaknesses of the customary law regarding individual ownership of land.

Download or read book Land Tenure Challenges in Africa written by Horman Chitonge and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a significant contribution to the literature on land reform in various African contexts. While the economic evidence is clear that secure property rights are a necessary condition for catalysing broad-based economic development, the governance process by which those rights are secured is less clear. This book details the historical complexity of land rights and the importance of understanding this history in the process of trying to improve tenure security. Through a combination of single country case studies, comparative case studies and regional comparisons, the book is unequivocal that good governance is paramount for improving the performance of land reform programmes. All attempts at moving towards more formal secure tenure require congruence with informal norms, beliefs and values, and a set of clear systems and processes to avoid corruption and unintended negative consequences.

Download or read book Land Title in South Africa written by D. L. Carey Miller and published by Juta. This book was released on 2000 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important new work is the first comprehensive survey of South African land law following the sweeping land reforms enacted during the past decade. It considers the substance and working of these reforms in the context of the pre-existing common law and legislation. An outline of the main features of the South African landholding before 1990 is followed in a detailed discussion of the established procedures of registration, prescription nad alternative forms of title. Registration in terms of the Deeds Registries Act remains a fundamental aspect of the acquisistion of real rights in land, and chapters dealing with these subjects constitute an authoritative source of reference for the property practitioner and conveyancer, the consultant and developer. They revise and update the corresponding chapters from The Acquisition and protection of Ownership (Juta, 1986) by the same author, which is relied upon by practitioners and the courts as a standard reference in the field of property law. The land reform programme is examined in the context of these pre-existing procedures, and with reference to the history of discriminatory landholding and constitutional property provisions. The result is a coherent account of land title in South Africa at the end of the 20th century."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, from ethical, interdisciplinary, and African perspectives, unveils the root causes of the increasing land disputes. Its significance lies upon the effort of presenting a broad overview founded upon a critical analysis of the existing land-related disputes. It is a perspective that attempts to evaluate the renewed interest in evolving theories of land rights by raising questions that can help us to understand better differences underlying land ownership systems, conflict between customary and statutory land rights systems, and the politics of land reform. Other dimensions explored in the book include the market influence on land-grabbing and challenges accompanying trends of migration, resettlement, and integration. The methodology applied in the study provides a perspective that raises questions intended to identify areas of contention, dispute, and conflict. The study, which could also be categorized as a critical assessment of the African land rights systems, is intended to be a resource for scholars, activists, and organizations working to resolve land-related disputes.
