This in-depth investigation uses three village case studies from different parts of Kenya to examine the impact of HIV and AIDS on the land rights of individuals and households and identify the link this disease has with land tenure and administration.

The year 2008 is the deadline set by President Mbeki for the finalization of all land claims by people who were dispossessed under the apartheid and previous white governments. Although most experts agree this is an impossible deadline, 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 (and land restitution within that) 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, Professor 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.

Women and Gender in Southern Africa to 1945

Until recently our understanding of southern African society was impoverished by the lack of attention paid to the key part played by women in the unfolding of its history. The author shows how fundamental gender has been in shaping the experience of women in Southern Africa, but emphasises that gender cannot be studied in isolation from race or class.
