Such processes are key to understanding property and authority in Africa.

People exert tremendous energy and imagination to have land claims recognized as rights with a variety of political, administrative, and legal institutions. The book particularly 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.

Christian Lund has worked on issues concerning land and politics in West Africa for almost twenty years. In addition, he has published in Africa, Development and Change, the Journal of Modern African Studies, and World Development

Kristine Juul and Christian Luund, eds. Asserting that land rights are a social relationship, Christian Luund offers a case study from Burkina Faso to show how different authorities "use disputes for their own, mainly local, political ends" (20)

Kristine Juul and Christian Luund, eds. xiii + 255 pp. Bibliographies. Asserting that land rights are a social relationship, Christian Luund offers a case study from Burkina Faso to show how different authorities "use disputes for their own, mainly local, political ends" (20). Pauline E. Peters, as if in response, cautions that negotiability tends to favor privilege, and that the attention being paid to it may obscure a broader trend toward Latin American-style class formation.

How do people vindicate, assert, and secure claims to land? What at the outset might seem a straightforward question soon gets quite complicated when we realize that land tenure is a field where social and political relations are multifarious, overlapping, and competing. This collection of essays by prominent Africanists examines the negotiations and tactical and strategic maneuvers that Africans employ to secure their claims to land. The contributors depict a broad array of processes through which Africans pursue their interests. These range from relatively low levels of tension where people seek to preempt rival claims through assertion of "tradition" to open conflicts and disputes expressed formally in courts and other legal institutions.

By placing land tenure at the center of social relations in Africa, Juul and Lund underscore the inherent dynamism of African societies. African efforts to consolidate claims to land provide key windows through which we can see ongoing constructions and transformations of social relations within African societies. Anyone interested in understanding a vital aspect of African lives will find this collection absorbing and essential.
