Transformations on the Ground - Space and the Power of Land in Botswana (Hardcover)
Series: Framing the Global

Transformations on the Ground considers the ways in which power in
all its forms-local, international, legal, familial-affects the
collision of global with local concerns over access to land and
control over its use. In Botswana's struggle to access
international economies, few resources are as fundamental and
fraught as control over land. On a local level, land and control
over its use provides homes, livelihoods, and the economic security
to help lift populations out of impoverishment. Yet on the
international level, global capital concerns compete with
strategies for sustainable development and economic empowerment.
Drawing on extensive archival research, legal records, fieldwork,
and interviews with five generations of family members in the
village of Molepolole, Anne M. O. Griffiths provides a sweeping
consideration of the scale of power from global economy to
household experience in Botswana. In doing so, Griffiths provides a
frame through which the connections between legal power and local
engagement can provide fresh insight into our understanding of the
global.
