There is intense contestation over South Africa’s land question given the country’s minimal progress in land reform in over two decades of democracy. This volume departs from the standard discourse on the issue by pointing to the limitations of reducing land to a commodity. Rather, contributors explore the varied and contested meanings of land in relation to core elements of nation formation such as identity, citizenship, a sense of belonging, culture and heritage. These meanings, the authors argue, should be integrated into land reform policies and governance frameworks. They argue that land should be addressed as an asset with both tangible and non-tangible value, and as central to the project of nation building. Field and documentary research, largely in rural areas, gives focus to the voices of affected communities. What emerges is that most South Africans hold tenure rights that fall outside of legal protections. Authors argue that it is therefore necessary to develop a new land tenure system that recognises diverse land claims and holdings - some of them originating in the precolonial era ֊ including individual, family and homestead arrangements. Land in South Africa: Contested meanings and nation formation draws from extensive field work including in countries beyond South Africa, such as Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe as well as Brazil and Palestine. These international case studies underline issues ranging from the impact of colonial occupation to post-colonial collaboration between political elites and private companies to secure commercial projects at the
expense of local communities. The gains that communities can make from persistent, organised campaigns to assert their rights are explored. The authors also draw attention to the experiences of labour tenants, and the profound impact that women-led subsistence agriculture has on poverty reduction and the broader community. Contributors point to the need to strengthen the protection of, and access to, heritage resources that are important for the spirituality, religion and sense of belonging within communities. The insights and recommendations in this book will help to broaden discourse on land reform and nudge South Africa further towards the constitutional ideal of a country that truly belongs to all who live in it. 978192850915890000 ^MAPUNGUBWE l*JÍT:TI¡TP P Ո Ո РТПІТСГ.ІГ R P P I C T !
