Seeking Health and Finding Collective Joy Under Lockdown: The Covid-19 Meat Camp Among Maasai of Southern Kenya
The olpul (pl. ilpuli ) is a gathering of Maasai men who spend several days or weeks in a secluded wooded area slaughtering livestock and consuming large quantities of meat and medicinal plants to strengthen themselves. During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, ilpuli and associated celebrations multiplied and were enthusiastically adhered to by Maasai (agro)pastoralists of southern Kenya, even as social interactions were criminalised. This study, b…

Mining the Energy Transition:An Introduction Angela Kronenburg García and Nikkie Wiegink In 2018, when one of the authors of this article (Angela) was doing field-work in northern Mozambique—a country of research interest to both authors—she ended up following a series of public consultations announcing a new mining project in the area. These consultations were organized by the mining company in the district's town and in the various villages tha…
Surplus to extraction: Resettlement as a “make live” intervention in Mozambique
One of the direct consequences of the growing extractive industry in Mozambique is the displacement of people from their homes and lands. Building on the work of Tania Li (2010), we regard extractive projects as one of the key ways in which “surplus populations” are produced in Mozambique, as people lose access to their lands without being substantially incorporated into the job markets that extractive projects create. In this paper, we criticall…
Resource frontiers and agglomeration economies: The varied logics of transnational land-based investing in Southern and Eastern Africa
Actor-level data on large-scale commercial agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa are scarce. The peculiar choice of transnational investing in African land has, therefore, been subject to conjecture. Addressing this gap, we reconstructed the underlying logics of investment location choices in a Bayesian network, using firm- and actor-level interview and spatial data from 37 transnational agriculture and forestry investments across 121 sites in Mozamb…
Waves and legacies: The making of an investment frontier in Niassa, Mozambique
The literature on land-use frontiers has overwhelmingly focused on active frontiers of expansion. We focus on an emerging frontier. We studied the decisions, narratives, and practices of the actors driving land-use change in Niassa, Mozambique. Based on ethnographic research carried out between early 2017 and late 2018 among investors engaged in commercial agriculture and plantation forestry, we show how successive waves of actors with different …
Key knowledge gaps to achieve global sustainability goals
Towards a Theory of Claim Making: Bridging Access and Property Theory
This article proposes a framework for studying and understanding how people make claims to land and other natural resources. We argue that a focus on claim-making practices of actors (individuals, groups, institutions, companies, the state), and the processes of appropriation, accessing and contestation that come along with it, best responds to Sikor and Lund’s call to examine “the grey zone” between access and property. We identify and discuss t…
