Abstract:Most of the chapters in this collective volume were presented as papers at a seminar held on 28-29 November 2002 in Denmark and organized by the Custom and Conflict in Land and Water Management in Africa research network directed by Rie Odgaard, Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS). The seminar's central theme was how conflicts over land and water interact and inform conflicts over identity, citizenship and status in Africa, and how these issues in turn overlay conflicts over resources.
