dc.description.abstractLand holding systems in pre-colonial Uganda were for a greater part premised on diverse customary norms and practices prescribing access and use of land. Crosscutting among majority communities in Uganda was the unwavering right for every member of the community to access land either directly or through an established authority or entity of association. The latter held true for “stratified societies” such as Buganda. In such societies, institutional holding and control of land was largely on the basis of agency for the members of the community. Also important in many of the African settings was the holding of land by the living on agency for the past and future generations. Specifically for Uganda, the prevalent customary modes of holding land could be said to be unknown to the English system. To the British, the customary system required reform to give it currency. A number of legislative and other reforms aimed at the preceding resulted into land changing hands directly and indirectly, in a way that gave some of them characteristics of land grabs such as violation of the human rights. Below is a discussion of some of these.en_US
