Beschreibung:
The year 2008 is the deadline set by former president Mbeki for the finalization of all land claims by people who were dispossessed under apartheid and the previous white governments. Although most experts agree this is an impossible deadline to meet, it does provide a significant political moment for reflection on the ANC government's program of land restitution since the end of apartheid. Land reform remains a highly charged issue in South Africa, one that deserves more in-depth analysis. Drawing on her experience as Rural Land Claims Commissioner in KwaZulu-Natal from 1995 to 2000, Cherryl Walker provides a multilayered account of land reform in South Africa, one that covers general critical commentary, detailed case material, and personal narrative. She explores the master narrative of loss and restoration, which has been fundamental in shaping the restitution program; offers a critical overview of the achievements of the program as a whole; and discusses what she calls the 'non-programmatic limits to land reform', including urbanization, environmental constraints, and the impact of HIV/AIDS.
