This volume is based on original field research on land struggles and civil society in Southern Africa, with chapters on South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and Zambia. Most chapters are written by NGO and grassroots activists. The book explores the extent to which rural organisations are grappling with issues of land and agrarian reform in a context where the sub-region is yet to clarify a coherent approach to resolving colonially-inherited questions and also in the face of new challenges around the conversion of land-use patterns. The book captures the specificity of land conflicts taking place within specific countries, including conflicts around national game parks, forests, land redistribution and private titling. The richness of these accounts reflects the active engagement of the contributors in the ongoing struggles.
