<br> While central to the continent's future, land rights in Africa are difficult to study. Sandra Joireman provides a framework within which she successfully applies it to a series of important cases. The result is a book that is thoughtful, penetrating, and informative. --Robert Bates, Professor of Government, Harvard University<p><br> Sandra Joireman's book exposes the fallacy of legalism in settings where central states are unwilling or unable to enforce the property rights that exist in public or statute law. This book will be welcomed eagerly by both scholars and practitioners. Joireman's clear logic and exposition opens the door to a topic-property rights and local-level governance-that has often been regarded as bewilderingly complex. --Catherine Boone, Professor of Government, University of Texas-Austin<p><br>

The strongest feature of this book is its high-quality writing combined with an excellent theoretical framework, making it a 'must-read' for students, scholars and practitioners interested in exploring why non-state protection and enforcement mechanisms occur and how to evaluate them.
