It questions and debates how and why the peri-urban villages have become the locus of the selling and buying of customary land, the practices and also the relations involved. The book provides rich ethnographic insights on the commodification of land relations, custom, practices, disputes and social relations between land sellers, land buyers, traditional leaders, and intermediaries. The transactions draw strength from the growing peri-urbanization and monetization of social relations, both of which push towards land decisions at family and individual levels. Bigger groups like the village, clan or extended family have minimal, if not symbolic role only. Village headmen benefit materially by taking gifts (signing fee) rationalized by custom on reciprocity, while estate agents claim commission. Numerous constraints are negotiated about the ownership, rights to sale, multiple selling and the use and sharing of land money. Peri-urban land transactions offer scope for examining a wider range of social and economic relations, and the subtle ways in which the state infiltrates the everyday lives of actors. Overtime, the practices reproduce but also transform land relations in significant but less appreciated ways. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Land tenure|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85074312|zMalawi|zBlantyre.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79066540-781 650 0 Land titles|xRegistration and transfer|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85074336|zMalawi|zBlantyre.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79066540-781 650 0 Real property|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85111739|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zMalawi|zBlantyre.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79066540-781 650 0 Customary law|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85034953|zMalawi|zBlantyre.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79066540-781 650 0 Economic anthropology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85040766|zMalawi|zBlantyre.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n79066540-781 650 7 Land tenure.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/991362 650 7 Land titles|xRegistration and transfer.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/991447 650 7 Real property|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1091148 650 7 Real property.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1091096 650 7 Customary law.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/885510 650 7 Economic anthropology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /901586 651 7 Malawi|zBlantyre.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205545 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Electronic books.|2gtlm 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJimu, Ignasio Malizani.|tPeri-urban land transactions.|dMankon, Bamenda : Langaa Research & Pub.
