The extent to which indigenous people were dispossessed of their land by whites in South Africa under colonial rule and apartheid has no parallels on the African continent. Since the advent of democracy in 1994, issues at the heart of the land question in South Africa are how to reverse this phenomenon and how a large-scale redistribution of land can contribute to the transformation of the economy and the reduction of poverty, both rural and urban. The land question in South Africa debates these issues against the backdrop of a land reform programme that made limited headway in the first decade of South Africa's democracy. The title offers a robust assessment of that programme and raises critical questions for its future.

Lungisile Ntsebeza is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Cape Town and a chief research specialist in the democracy and governance research program of the Human Sciences Research Council. He is currently working on agrarian movements in South Africa. Ruth Hall is a researcher for the Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies at the University of the Western Cape-South Africa, where she is involved in research and policy engagement on land redistribution, land restitution, and farm-dweller tenure policy.

Regional context and theoretical considerations: Agrarian questions of capital and labour - some theory about land reform (and a periodisation); the land question in southern Africa - a comparative review. Perspectives on existing policy and new directions for the future; transforming rural South Africa? taking stock of land reform; land redistribution in South Africa: the property clause revisited; redistributive land reform - for what and for whom?; agricultural land redistribution in South Africa - towards accelerated implementation; struggling for a life in dignity; agrarian reform and the 'two economies' - transforming South Africa's countryside.
