• A reflection on the nature of international law : redressing the illegality of Africa's colonization.

Over recent decades, the responsibility for the past actions of the European colonial powers in relation to their former colonies has been subject to a lively debate. In this book, the question of the responsibility under international law of former colonial States is addressed. Such a legal responsibility would presuppose the violation of the international law that was applicable at the time of colonization. In the 'Scramble for Africa' during the Age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), European States and non-State actors mainly used cession and protectorate treaties to acquire territorial sovereignty (imperium) and property rights over land (dominium). The question is raised whether Europeans did or did not on a systematic scale breach these treaties in the context of the acquisition of territory and the expansion of empire, mainly through extending sovereignty rights and, subsequently, intervening in the internal affairs of African political entities.

"Le présent ouvrage témoigne de l'évolution de la situation foncière en Afrique subsaharienne, décrivant la montée de la pression foncière liée à la croissance démographique (humaine et animale), à la dégradation écologique et aux pratiques " minières " d'exploitation des terres. Les comportements des différents acteurs (usagers, autorités locales, et États) face à la gestion du foncier, y sont analysés. L'ouvrage montre l'impact important de l'organisation sociale sur l'occupation des terres et l'organisation de la production, avec les risques sérieux de conflits fonciers violents liés à une superposition complexe de droits. La recherche de solutions durables aux problèmes de développement dans un tel contexte amène l'auteur à revisiter ici, les paradigmes de l'analyse du foncier ainsi que le contenu des concepts usités. Cet ouvrage constitue ainsi une contribution notable dans la réflexion pour les réformes foncières."--Page 4 of cover.

Medieval peasant families are closely identified with the land to which they had a hereditary right, especially in periods of land scarcity. By contrast, historians in recent decades have become increasingly interested in the growing facility with which even servile tenants could exchange land, especially from the thirteenth century onwards. This book concerns the tension between these contrasting trends in the study of village life, showing how they were affected by changes over time and place. Unlike earlier studies of the peasant land market, which have mostly concentrated on individual manors, this study employs the vast amount of evidence available from the Winchester bishopric estates between 1263 and 1415. It uses computerised technology to analyse 66,000 transactions across over 50 different manors ranging from Somerset to Surrey, and from Oxfordshire to Hampshire, providing unparallelled opportunities for comparing local and regional differences of experience.

As the nineteenth century ended in Hunt County, Texas, a way of life was dying. The tightly knit, fiercely independent society of the yeomen farmers - "plain folk, " as historians have often dubbed them - was being swallowed up by the rising tide of a rapidly changing, cotton-based economy. A social network based on family, religion, and community was falling prey to crippling debt and resulting loss of land ownership. For many of the rural people of Hunt County and similar places, it seemed like the end of the world.In "Yeomen, Sharecroppers, and Socialists" historian Kyle G. Wilkison analyzes the patterns of plain-folk life and the changes that occurred during the critical four decades spanning the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. Political protest evolved in the wake of the devastating losses experienced by the poor rural majority, and Wilkison carefully explores the interplay of religion and politics as Greenbackers, Populists, and Socialists vied for the support of the dispossessed tenant farmers and sharecroppers.With its richly drawn contextualization and analysis of the causes and effects of the epochal shifts in plain-folk society, Kyle G. Wilkison's "Yeomen, Sharecroppers, and Socialists" will reward students and scholars in economic, regional, and agricultural history.
