The publication draws attention to the limitations of reducing land to a commodity, and how this approach perpetuates social conflict and inequality in land reform policy implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book posits an alternative policy paradigm, which discusses contested meanings of land and their relation to nation formation. It brings to the fore citizen stakeholder perspectives from former labour tenants, citizens residing in communally owned land, women subsistence farmers, peasant movements and land reform civil society groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters investigate the diverse and contested meanings of land to elevate how South Africans perceive land justice and reform, while also including several international case studies. The publication argues that land power relations and policy debates are constitutive components of nation building. And, importantly, that land shapes essential pillars in nation formation such as citizenship, political identity, heritage, a sense of belonging and social disparities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khwezi Mabasa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1928509150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781928509158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mapungubwe Institute (Mistra)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Khwezi Mabasa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981984071935,"sku":"9781928509158","price":78.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4314ffb-76db-462f-afe6-355eb5333de8.jpg?v=1683258622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-in-south-africa-khwezi-mabasa-9781928509158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
