• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the complexities of land reform in Namibia, focusing on the communal land tenure systems. It delves into the historical trajectory, challenges, and developments of land tenure reform in Africa, with a specific emphasis on Namibia's journey post-independence. The author examines the customary land tenure practices, emerging land markets, and the institutional processes involved in tenure reform. The work aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how land rights and access are managed within Namibia's legal and social framework, highlighting the significance of recognizing customary tenure in law to promote social equity and tenure security. Extensive field research informs the analysis, making it valuable for policymakers, researchers, and those interested in land reform and rural development.
