The issue of land rights is an ongoing and complex topic of debate for South Africans. Rights to Land comes at a time when land redistribution by the government is underway. This book seeks to understand the issues around land rights and distribution of land in South Africa, and proposes that new policies and processes should be developed and adopted. 

It further provides an analysis of what went so wrong, and warns that a new phase of restitution may ignite conflicting ethnic claims and facilitate elite capture of land and rural resources. Rights to Land is published in partnership with Good Governance Africa (GGA).
William Beinart retired from the University of Oxford in 2015, where he was Director of the African Studies Centre and a fellow of St Antony’s College. Michelle Hay is an independent researcher and honory fellow at the Centre for African Studies, Edinburgh University.
