Since the enactment of the 1995 Lands Act No. 29 in Zambia, conversion of customary land has become a controversial policy, raising questions about the future of customary land and rural communities, and the role of traditional authorities in a changing environment. Alienating customary land into leasehold tenure has serious implications for local and national politics and gender dynamics. Analysis of these trends suggests that the policy of creating land markets on customary land is subjecting customary systems to the forces of change. However, governments that have adopted this policy have not, by and large, adopted measures to respond to these challenges. Although customary tenure is widely believed to be resilient, it is not clear how the customary system will navigate the current winds of change.Chapters in this book draw from the Land Use and Rural Livelihoods in Africa Project (LURLAP), a collaborative research project undertaken by staff and students at the University of Cape Town and the University of Zambia.Land tenureAfricaLand reformAfricaLand tenureLand reform333.3096Chitonage HormanUmar Bridget BwalyaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818599703321Contemporary customary land issues in Africa3979715UNINA01535nas 2200385 n 450 99000889087040332120240229084533.02035-5149000889087FED01000889087(Aleph)000889087FED01000889087CNRP 0022858720161109a19999999km-y0itaa50------baitaITauu--------Ambiente & sicurezza1999-MilanoIl Sole 24 Ore PirolaQuindicinale2001Tecnologie & soluzioni per l'ambiente2001Ambiente & sicurezzaAmbiente & sicurezza344.450465ITACNP20090723http://acnp.cib.unibo.it/cgi-ser/start/it/cnr/dc-p1.tcl?catno=1093560&person=false&language=ITALIANO&libr=&libr_th=unina1Biblioteche che possiedono il periodicoSE990008890870403321Biblioteca del dipartimento di Diritto dei rapporti civili ed economico-sociali.1999-2005;1999;7DDRCDDRCAmbiente & sicurezza801893UNINA866-01NA214 Biblioteca del dipartimento di Diritto dei rapporti civili ed economico-sociali.7Via Porta di Massa, 32, 80133 Napoli (NA)itacnp.cib.unibo.itACNP Italian Union Catalogue of Serialshttp://acnp.cib.unibo.it/cgi-ser/start/it/cnr/df-p.tcl?catno=1093560&language=ITALIANO&libr=&person=&B=1&libr_th=unina&proposto=NO
