Since 1994, the South African government has grappled with a dilemma: how to undo the injustices of the past in a way that builds a more just and equal society. Land is at the heart of inequality in South Africa. Under colonialism and apartheid, the government forcibly removed millions of black people from their land. The African National Congress government's Land Restitution Program aims to restore land to those dispossessed of it. But it has made minimal progress. 'Property of the People' tackles questions at the heart of the land reform impasse: who defines the beneficiaries of land restitution, who defines what property ownership means, and how can a limited government program undo centuries of injustice. My thesis offers a historical account of how, between 1900-1994, black land purchasers in South Africa debated and imagined kinds of property that offered alternatives to the narrow categorizations envisioned by the apartheid state. It has relied on government and university archives, court records, vernacular language newspapers and co-building archives with land claimants, based on oral histories, documents and photographs kept by families, and minutes from women's church group meetings. Through the study of the collective land-holding schemes on three farms in the former Transvaal province - Daggakraal, Driefontein and Mogopa - it offers accounts of land buyers' economic strategies, social bonds and changing philosophies of land ownership, gender and law.
