| Summary |
This collection illustrates contestations over land, restitution, chieftaincy, customary law and history in South Africa's rural areas. Intense disputes are taking place around such issues as who 'owns' the land and mineral resources, and who can make decisions about their use. Case studies focus especially on disputes that have come to court. |
