By offering an innovative focus on the philosophical themes inherent in land reform, the contributors engage in thoughtful reflection on both traditional African conceptualizations of land and Western interpretations. Moreover, they introduce specifically Southern African approaches to a wide array of debates, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the issue. The chapters, rooted in the complexities of colonization and decolonization, explore the critical questions of what reform should aim to achieve for the people of Africa. They provide contemporary insights into the diverse racial and cultural dimensions of land, emphasizing the importance of reconciliation, compensation, justice, development, emancipation, Ubuntu, and empowerment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book adopts a vigorous and interdisciplinary approach, tackling a diverse range of questions. These include: What does land mean in the African context? What ethical considerations are pertinent to land reform and redistribution? What mechanisms can be employed to address injustice in land reform processes? By providing a comprehensive engagement with philosophical and political issues related to land reform in Southern Africa, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, not only in Africa but also in regions where similar questions of land, dispossession, and justice arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 473g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030497071\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103180288250,"sku":"9783030497071","price":38.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646373627956_book.jpg?v=1646983421","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/philosophical-perspectives-on-land-reform-in-southern-africa-9783030497071","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
