Land is a burning issue in South Africa, as in Africa more widely. One particularly controversial aspect is reform of land tenure in the former homelands. This book is written from research generated in the course of preparing a legal challenge to the constitutionality of the Communal Land Rights Act of 2004. It combines chapters on land tenure, customary law, history and land reform and detailed case studies collected from rural communities.
