This empirically grounded study provides a critical reflection on
the land question in Africa, research on which tends to be
tangential, conceptually loose and generally inadequate. It argues
that the most pressing research concern must be to understand the
precise nature of the African land question, its land reforms and
their effects on development. To unravel the roots of land
conflicts in Africa requires thorough understanding of the complex
social and political contradictions which have ensued from colonial
and post-colonial land policies, as well as from Africa's
'development' and capital accumulation trajectories, especially
with regard to the land rights of the continent's poor. The study
thus questions the capacity of emerging neo-liberal economic and
political regimes in Africa to deliver land reforms which address
growing inequality and poverty. It equally questions the
understanding of the nature of popular demands for land reforms by
African states, and their ability to address these demands under
the current global political and economic structures dictated by
neo-liberalism and its narrow regime of ownership. The study
invites scholars and policy makers to creatively draw on the
specific historical trajectories and contemporary expression of the
land and agrarian questions in Africa, to enrich both theory and
practice on land in Africa.
