Overcoming Historical Land Injustices in South Africa is the last
entry in Gibson s overcoming trilogy on South Africa s
transformation from apartheid to democracy. Focusing on the issue
of historical land dispossessions the taking of African land under
colonialism and apartheid this book investigates the judgments
South Africans make about the fairness of their country s past.
Should, for instance, land seized under apartheid be returned today
to its rightful owner? Gibson s research zeroes in on group
identities and attachments as the thread that connects people to
the past. Even when individuals have experienced no direct harm in
the past, they care about the fairness of the treatment of their
group to the extent that they identify with that group. Gibson s
analysis shows that land issues in contemporary South Africa are
salient, volatile, and enshrouded in symbols and, most important,
that interracial differences in understandings of the past and
preferences for the future are profound.
