This book links contemporary debates on land reform with wider
discourses on sustainable development within Africa. Featuring
chapters and in-depth case studies on South Africa and Zimbabwe,
Malawi, Kenya, Botswana and West Africa, it traces the development
of ideas about sustainable development and addresses a new agenda
based on social justice. The authors critically examine
contemporary neoliberal market-led reforms and the legacy of
colonialism on the land question. They argue that debates on
sustainable development should be placed in the context of
structural interests, access and equity, rather than technical
management of land and resources. Additionally, they show that
these structural factors cannot be transformed by institutional
reform based on notions of elective democracy, community
participation, and market-reform, but require a far more radical
programme to redress the injustices of the colonial system that
continue today. The book advocates a commitment to building
sustainable livelihoods for farmers, calling for a redistribution
of land and natural resources to challenge existing economic
relations and frameworks for development.
