(Image: Oxford University Press)On 30 June 2014, President Jacob Zuma announced the reopening of the land claims process. In the next round, South Africa must build on the successes and learn from the mistakes of the first round of restitution.
Professor Bernadette Atuahene’s new book, We Want What’s Ours: Learning from South Africa’s Land Restitution Program (Oxford University Press, 2014), is based on interviews that she conducted with over 150 South Africans who were forcibly removed from urban areas, and who received compensation through the land restitution programme. The book provides an unbiased, bottom-up evaluation of the programme’s successes and failures.
