This land is my land! Motions and emotions around land reform in Namibia

Description:

Why is land reform in Namibia such an explosive, emotional issue? What is ‘land hunger’ all about? And is it true that black and white farmers have a fundamentally different attitude towards land? By listening to the views and experiences of black and white landowners, of the landless and the’ land hungry and of farm workers, government officials and agricultural experts, Erika von Wietersheim took a look at land reform from the inside - at its human face.

This book provides the reader with new insights and a number of surprising correlations and connections, while also offering an overview of the land reform process in Namibia. As an educational consultant Erika von Wietersheim has been involved in numerous national and international projects. Her interest in the land question also derives from her own experiences as a farmer for more than 20 years.
