A bold and urgent call to rethink Africa’s development from the ground up. This groundbreaking book exposes the deep-rooted injustices in land tenure and agrarian policy—tracing the arc from colonial dispossession to modern land grabs. Through a sharp political economy lens, Murisa reveals how global power struggles and elite exploitation continue to undermine rural livelihoods, food sovereignty, and economic transformation. More than critique, it offers a roadmap for equitable land reform, smallholder investment, and participatory democracy.

Land is not just territory—it’s the key to justice, dignity, and Africa’s future.
