'This volume is well written, in so far as individual chapters and the main argument are concerned and a must read for anyone interested on landreform.[...] all chapters manage to succeed in convincing the reader that we need to think about land beyond the big commercial agricultural productivity model because land is complex as there are different meanings of land to different people'.Mzingaye Brilliant Xaba in Transformations. Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa Vol. 100, pp. 228-233.
