Call for Papers Deadline: Land Ownership and Tenure

September 15, 2011

Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts seeks submissions for an issue (Spring 2012) on “Land Ownership and Tenure.” The submission deadline is Sept. 15, 2011.

UN-Habitat, The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, concluded that more than one billion people live without any security of tenure in informal settlements in developing countries. While most developed countries have records that cover most of their territories, very few countries in the Global South have such records. This discrepancy underscores the unjust politics of landownership and land distribution that contributed to an inequitable world politics of social progress and human development.

Submission of cover art that relates to the theme is welcome.   mw
