Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Maps, Figures and Tables -- Chapter 1 The Properties of Property -- Chapter 2 Ownership in Stateless Places -- Chapter 3 The Romance of Privatisation and its Unheralded Challengers: Case Studies from English, Russian, Soviet and Post-Soviet History -- Chapter 4 Beyond Embeddedness: a Challenge Raised by a Comparison of the Struggles Over Land in African and Post-socialist Countries -- Chapter 5 Land as Asset, Land as Liability: Property Politics in Rural Central and Eastern Europe -- Chapter 6 Property, Labour Relations and Social Obligations in Russia’s Privatised Farm Enterprises -- Chapter 7 Cooperative Property at the Limit -- Chapter 8 Who Owns the Fisheries? Changing Views of Property and Its Redistribution in Post-colonial Maori Society -- Chapter 9 How Communal is Communal and Whose Communal is It? Lessons from Minangkabau -- Chapter 10 Moving Borders and Invisible Boundaries: a Force Field Approach to Property Relations in the Commons of a Mexican ejido -- Chapter 11 ‘The Tragedy of the Private’: Owners, Communities and the State in South Africa’s Land Reform Programme -- Chapter 12 The Folk Conceptualisation of Property and Forest-related Going Concerns in Madagascar -- Chapter 13 Property Rights, Water and Conflict in the Western U.S. -- Chapter 14 Appropriating Family Trees: Genealogies in the Age of Genetics -- Chapter 15 Cultural Property, Repatriation and Relative Publics: Which Public? Whose Culture? -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: As an important contribution to debates on property theory and the role of law in creating, disputing, defining and refining property rights, this volume provides new theoretical material on property systems, as well as new empirically grounded case studies of the dynamics of property transformations. The property claimants discussed in these papers represent a diverse range of actors, including post-socialist states and their citizens, those receiving restitution for past property losses in Africa, Southeast Asia and in eastern Europe, collectives, corporate and individual actors. The volume thus provides a comprehensive anthropological analysis not only of property structures and ideologies, but also of property (and its politics) in action.
