Description
Introduction In the first years of Transformation, three papers dealt with intersecting rural questions: Makhosazane Gcabashe and Alan Mabin's 'Preparing to negotiate the land question' (Transformation 11), Tom Bennett's 'Human rights and the African cultural tradition' (Transformation 22) and Henry Bernstein's 'Food security in a democratic South Africa' (Transformation 24). These three papers all ask, from different vantage points, what the future of land, food and agriculture will be in a new, liberated South Africa. They deal with the thinking behind moves in the early 1990s towards enshrining land and customary rights in law; towards agricultural deregulation; and towards the redistribution of commercial farmland. Reading them collectively, they suggest a variety of land questions and point out that agrarian change is not all about land.
