Abstract

In Land Matters: South Africa’s Failed Land Reforms and the Road Ahead, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi demonstrates how colonial and apartheid land tenure have shaped persistent inequality and social stratification in South Africa. Combining an excellent exposition of land law, historical research and social science investigations, this outstanding book offers an authoritative account of South Africa’s land economy, finds Franklin Obeng-Odoom.
