Los trece artículos que componen esta obra buscan contribuir al diseño de políticas públicas acordes a las realidades que enfrenta actualmente el medio rural colombiano. Son producto de las vivencias, la práctica y la reflexión del Grupo de Investigación en Gestión y Desarrollo Rural (GIGDR) de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Bogotá, en proyectos en los que ha primado el trabajo directo con comunidades locales en diversos contextos territoriales. A partir de las experiencias de varios años, cuyo común denominador ha sido el contacto presencial con la implementación de políticas de desarrollo rural, se hacen propuestas para mejorar su aplicación, al tiempo que se formulan lineamientos para la orientación del trabajo con comunidades en sus ámbitos territoriales. Se trata, por lo tanto, de un libro esencialmente propositivo y de crítica constructiva. Los análisis que se presentan se inscriben en la importancia de reconocer las ventajas de la interlocución basada en el respeto y la credibilidad entre la academia y las instituciones públicas.

It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

Land Reform Revisited engages with contemporary debates on land reform and agrarian transformation in South Africa. The volume offers insights into post-apartheid transformation dynamics through the lens of agency and state making. The chapters written by emerging scholars are based on extensive qualitative research and their analysis highlights the ways in which people negotiate and contest land reform realities and politics. By focusing on the diverse meanings of land and competing interpretations of what constitutes success and failure in land reform Brandt and Mkodzongi insist on looking beyond the productivity discourses guiding research and policy making in the field towards an informed view from below. Contributors are: Kezia Batisai, Femke Brandt, Sarah Bruchhausen, Nerhene Davis, Elene Cloete, Tariro Kamuti, Tarminder Kaur, Grasian Mkodzongi, Camalita Naicker, Fani Ncapayi, Mnqobi Ngubane, and Chizuko Sato.
