Land Reform and Livelihoods: Trajectories of Change in Northern Limpopo Province, South Africa

While disappointment with South Africa’s land reform program is widespread, the discussions as to why and in what way tend to be too general or shallow to be either fully convincing or useful. Land Reform and Livelihoods seeks to sharpen our understanding of how land reform does or does not work. In doing so, it helps us appreciate to what extent land reform is contributing to poverty reduction, and to what extent it might contribute to reduce poverty even more if we approached it differently.
