Self-reflection interventions for implicit gender bias reduction
Current binary male/female perceptions of gender in the colonial West are inherently exclusionary, breed inequality and violence, and curb full expression of self, limiting personal and collective potential. Implicit biases are unseen cognitive forces within us, manipulating internal and external experiences of the illegitimate and manufactured gender binary that infuses into daily culture, and undermines our ability to achieve true equality in s…
Impediments to inland resettlement under conditions of accelerated sea level rise
Trophy lands
This article explores the motivations, and some of the consequences, of concentrated land holdings among elites. Within the characterisation of land deals as rent-seeking behaviour, three inducements (power, prestige and option value) are found to motivate elites in both the Global North and South. Among the many social and environmental costs of land concentration, two are highlighted here: the privatisation of social property and the profligate…
A view from the top
A rise in large-scale land acquisitions has been documented in the popular media and scholarly literature, but with little attention to elite actors and their motivations. In this introduction to the special issue, we expand upon commonly held understandings of the drivers of global land acquisitions to explore the complex, dynamic and sometimes contradictory motivations of elites directly and indirectly involved in land deals. Focusing on the re…
People, Power, and Land
A global land rush is aggressively underway. It is reinventing frontier narratives wherever farmland, rangeland, and forestland appear 'underutilized,' particularly in the Global South. Though the means and motives of these acquisitions are diverse, the lens of 'new enclosures' lends itself to focusing on their similarities. New enclosures surpass the enclosures of bygone centuries in scale and speed and in the plethora of resources they reach. S…
Disowned by the Ownership Society
Over the past five centuries,Europeans have enclosed the global commons and, in the process, incorporated whole continents of aboriginal land. Some scholars argue thatIndians inNorthAmerica were spared the ravages of compulsory enclosure, having sold their land to non-Indians through willing-seller transactions and benefited from federal government trust and treaty policies. Moreover, where enclosure existed, it is widely believed to have ended a…

"New Terra Nullius Narratives and the Gentrification of Africa's "Empty Lands
Extraterritorial ownership and control of sub-Saharan African land have a long and troubledhistory. This research investigates a much-studied practice the recent enclosure of African landand resources but asks a little-studied question: how are non-Africans reasserting terra nulliusnarratives of the past to justify the present transformation of African landscapes? The answersuggested here lies in a bulwark of de facto terra nullius claims couched…
Land expropriation and displacement in Bangladesh
This paper examines land grabbing in Bangladesh and views such seizures through the lens of displacement and land encroachment. Two different but potentially interacting displacement processes are examined. The first, the char riverine and coastal sediment regions that are in a constant state of formation and erosion, are contested sites ripe for power plays that uproot small producers on their rich alluvial soils. The second examines new pattern…
Accumulating Insecurity
Residential Preferences
Security has long been recognized as an element in residential preference and its relative importance has risen with fear of extremist attacks on U.S. cities. Using polling data from 2004, this research investigates whether the security breaches of 9/11 in New York City influenced residential preferences in New York State. Our results confirm that perceived risks are greatest downstate but exert little overall net effect on (re)location plans. A …
Competing for Coffee Space
Vietnam has emerged as the world's second largest producer of coffee. The benefits of this expanding coffee economy are substantial but not universal; their distribution follows ethnic lines despite government commitment to equalize welfare. Focusing on Dak Lak Province in Vietnam's Central Highlands, we investigate this commercial transformation and the 'competition for coffee space' that it has occasioned. Combined ethno-history and household i…
Naturalising transgenics
Cotton farmers in Gujarat, western India, faced a novel decision matrix when Delhi gave provisional approval, in March 2002, to Mahyco-Monsanto Biotech Ltd. to release three Bt-cotton varieties. These varieties represented India's first legally commercialised transgenics: official seeds. Unofficial transgenic seeds were also available to farmers both as unpackaged, unbranded 'loose seeds' - mostly F2 progeny of a popular but banned transgenic var…

Changing Properties of Property
A Civil Republic
Negotiating Locality
Decentralization is a political process, concerned with the distribution of power, resources, and administrative capacities across national territories. This research analyzes nominal decentralization of the forest sector in Guatemala, where recent legislation situates administrative power and territorial control of communal forests at the municipal level. We explore the local implications of this legislation, especially for communal forest manag…

The Relationship of Land Tenure to Agricultural Practices and the Environment in El Salvador
Estates of Mind
As geographers have noted for years, the cultural landscape defines the physical landscape and must be taken seriously in pursuing sustainable landscape management. After discussing various ways in which culture influences land use, this article discusses two subcultures of property that have developed in the United States, one public and one private, which shape the physical landscape and define appropriate behaviors. It reviews nineteenth-centu…

Returning Land Tenure to the Forefront of Rural Sociology
The social consequences of protected areas development for resident populations
Large-scale conservation projects are frequently portrayed as alternatives to development rather than as yet another type of development with important social consequences. The present research investigates an initial list of social consequences of protected areas development strategies in Third World countries. Of primary concern is how comanagement of protected areas with resident populations can reduce the social consequences of involuntary re…
Toward a Second Agricultural Divide
Ownership
This paper focuses on the interaction between public and private land ownership as a backdrop to future tenure research. It challenges various myths about land ownership in both sectors and emphasizes the problems in expanding tenure terms of reference to include the socalled 'new property.' It concludes with an examination of macro-sociological forces influencing the changing distribution of public and private ownership in the United States

Competitive structure and fiscal policy
Rethinking SIA
Social impact assessment (SIA), an applied form of social research essential to good development planning, has expanded to many Third World settings and is currently being adapted to conservation and protected area initiatives. The ex ante or pre‐project focus of SIA, ordinarily a, virtue, is diminished in value as projects increase in complexity, uncertainty, and duration. Protected area development, by design and definition, embodies each of th…

The use of subliminal psychodynamic activation in the study of repression
Female undergraduates (N = 33) selected for the presence of high sexual guilt were divided into two groups. One group evidenced a high degree of personality development from which it was inferred that they were prone toward (a) the use of repression rather than more primitive defenses and (b) oedipal rather than preoedipal conflict. The second group evidenced a lesser degree of personality development, and hence the above inferences did not apply…

Returning Land Tenure to the Forefront of Rural Sociology
Land and Poverty in the United States
The paper departs from conventional treatments of poverty as a function of income and employment. It advances the view that analyses of poverty cannot be separated from those of wealth and that land influences wealth and poverty in a variety of important ways. This case is supported by revisiting the place of landed property in the distribution of wealth in America and three areas of land policy which redistribute wealth. The paper expands the de…

Rethinking Land Reform in South Africa
Worldwide, millions of rural people inhabiting marginal lands have been evicted from their homes in the name of conservation. Africa is no exception, nor is South Africa, the focus of this paper. Our central concern is whether land reform in South Africa can accomplish both social and environmental justice in a context of widespread and longstanding human displacement and opportunity costs as the country's national parks and game refuges expand. …
