The mortgaging of land is not just economic and legal but also
social and cultural. Here, anthropologists, historians, and
economists explore origins, variations, and meanings of the land
mortgage, and the risks to homes and livelihoods. Combining
findings from archives, printed records, and live ethnography, the
book describes the changing and problematic assumptions surrounding
mortgage. It shows how mortgages affect people on the ground, where
local forms of mutuality mix with larger bureaucracies. The
outcomes of mortgage in Africa, Europe, Asia, and America challenge
economic development orthodoxies, calling for a human-centered
exploration of this age-old institution.
