While there is no
easy way to resolve these claims, the uniquely qualified contributors
stress that a negotiated settlement is preferable to a litigated one.
The fact that these cases have had to be brought to court, even to
the Supreme Court, is evidence of the seriousness of the issues involved.
This timely book
strikes a balance among the various parties to the land disputes,
proving an invaluable resource to academics, students, legal
professionals, policymakers, and the public at large.
