Much has been written about anti-apartheid resistance by the marginalized people of South Africa, as well as its violent repression by security forces in urban areas (e.g. Sharpeville massacre; Soweto riots). Very little attention has been paid to resistance by rural people. The Mpondo Revolts, which began in the 1950's and reached a climax in 1960, rank among the most significant rural resistances in South Africa. Here Mpondo villagers emphatically rejected the introduction of Bantu Authorities and unpopular rural land use planning that meant loss of land. The volume presents a fresh understanding of the uprising; as well as its meaning and significance then and now, particularly relating to land, rural governance, party politics and the agency of the marginalized.

"In the context of sustainable development recent land debates tend to construct two porous camps. On one side, land justice advocates dictate that people's rights to tenure security are tantamount and even sometimes key to successful conservation practice. On the other hand, biodiversity protection and conservation advocates, supported by global environmental organizations and participating states, remain committed to conservation strategies, justified as superior to the rights of local people on behalf of a "global" mandate for biodiversity and climate change mitigation. Struggles in the Spaces between Land Rights and Biodiversity Conservation traces the overlapping spaces between these two camps as a way to unpack what kinds of ideologies inform this tension. Through a number of case studies and shorter pieces of theoretical reflection taken from around the world, this edited volume explores the particular ideologies, narratives and practices in the spaces between land and territorial rights and biodiversity conservation that create natural resource struggles, negotiations and acceptance. In illustrating the spaces between competing agendas of land governance and conservation, the book offers a counter-narrative that affirms that the successful and just future of biodiversity conservation is contingent upon land tenure security for local people. The original research gathered together in this volume will be of considerable interest to researchers of development studies, political ecology, land rights, and conservation."--Provided by publisher.
