Beginning in the early 1990s, Africa has been experiencing a major ground swell of social, economic, and political changes. An array of declarations and communiqués notwithstanding, the crisis has forced indigenous peoples to become chronically dependent on international charity. This is one of the greatest tragedies of the 21st century. This book is a result of research conducted across Africa, beginning in 2003, that was invaluable in understanding the conditions and views of indigenous peoples who are the victims, rather than the beneficiaries, of land grabbing and infrastructure development. The book highlights the impediments to the livelihoods that indigenous peoples had developed over centuries brought about by political change. It also proposes various local and regional actions to mitigate this, which aim to simultaneously enhance climate resilience, productivity, and ac¬cess to adequate stocks, goods, and services.
