Land Grabbing in Africa

This book provides a critical appraisal of the growing phenomenon of land grabbing in Africa. The case studies illustrate that African states are also complicit in the massive land grabbing by actively participating in isolated development while excluding the local communities. The case studies reveal key features that characterize how the global land grab plays out in specific localities in Africa._x005F_x005F_x000D_ This book was published as a special issue of African Identities.
