The year 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Land Act in
South Africa which legalised the violent dispossession and
alienation of the African majority from the land. It is common
cause that the alienation of land for conservation purposes,
introduced to Africa under colonial rule, has continued more or
less uninterrupted until today. However, while nature conservation
practices inevitably raise challenging questions relating to land
and land use, there has thus far been little concentrated effort to
bring together scholars working on the land question, particularly
around issues of land tenure, with those whose work focuses on
questions of nature construction and the social impacts of
conservation in an African context. Compiled from research
presented at a ground-breaking interdisciplinary conference held at
Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, in 2012, the
chapters in this book made their first appearance in a special
issue of the Journal of Contemporary African Studies (JCAS) in July
2013. The book brings critical interdisciplinary analyses of the
complex interrelations between contemporary (neoliberal)
conservation practices in post-colonial Africa, into conversation
with the well-trodden territory of land use and contested land
issues on the continent. Anchored by an intellectual curiosity
about the extent to which past practices continue into the present
and with what consequences, the book provides fresh insights into
the complex relationship between land and conservation in
contemporary Africa.
