Access to land and property is vital to people's livelihoods in rural, peri-urban, and urban areas in Africa. People exert tremendous energy to have land claims recognized as rights with a variety of political, administrative, and legal institutions. This book provides a detailed analysis of how public authority and the state are formed through debates and struggles over property in the Upper East Region of Ghana. While scarcity may indeed promote exclusivity, the evidence from this book shows that when there are many institutions competing for the right to authorize claims to land, the result of an effort to unify and clarify the law is to intensify competition among them and weaken their legitimacy. The book explores how state divestiture of land in 1979 encouraged competition between customary authorities and how the institution of the earthpriest was revived. Such processes are key to understanding property and authority in Africa.

Here is an exploration of the relationship between possession and legalization across Indonesia, and how people navigate dispossession. The old aphorism 'possession is nine-tenths of the law' is particularly relevant in Indonesia, which has seen a string of regime changes and a shifting legal landscape for property claims. Ordinary people struggle to legalize their possessions and claim rights in competition with different branches of government, as well as police, army, and private gangs. This book explores the relationship between possession and legalization across Indonesia, examining the imaginative and improvisational interpretations of law by which Indonesians navigate dispossession.

Dans la vie sociale comme en politique, peu de choses sont plus fondamentales que ce que nous avons et qui nous sommes : avoir et être, la propriété et la citoyenneté. L’une et l’autre sont intimement liées dans leur constitution. La reconnaissance mutuelle est l’élément central de ces deux concepts. En effet, c’est au travers du processus qui consiste à entériner des revendications de propriété de terres et d’autres ressources ou à reconnaître l’identité politique comme un droit à l’appartenance que l’institution qui produit cette reconnaissance peut acquérir la légitimité et la reconnaissance de son autorité pour le faire. Les luttes pour la propriété et la citoyenneté portent par conséquent autant sur l’étendue et la constitution de l’autorité que sur l’accès aux ressources ou sur l’appartenance. C’est en cela que les notions d’avoir et d’être sont intimement liées au pouvoir. Les articles de ce numéro analysent l’émergence de nouvelles combinatoires de propriété et de citoyenneté dans des villes d’Éthiopie, d’Angola, du Burkina Faso, du Ghana, du Niger et du Bénin et montrent comment elles contribuent à la (re)production de l’État.
