“This book covers, from varied angles, a range of important issues pertaining to women’s right (or the lack thereof) over land. From barebones philosophical perspectives such as the concept of “power and rights”, through the legal, economic and social standpoint, the book treats this topical question from a multi-dimensional perspective, and does it well. The varied backgrounds of the contributors give it special flavour – university lecturers of diverse academic disciplines and those involved in the daily application of the law (judges and legal practitioners).The result is an insightful theoretical analysis tempered by a refreshing blend of practical narratives. The reader will also be pleased to learn some of the lessons of comparative experience from abroad (South Africa and Uganda).”
