Abstract

We shall begin this chapter with an account of nineteenth-century land use and land tenurial practices. Land use covers the ways in which people farm their land, the techniques of digging the ground, the division of labour between men and women and the rotations of crops to ensure the continuing fertility of the land. Land tenure defines a person’s rights in holding property. Land rights were usually directly related to an individual’s connections by kin. The kinship system and the land holding system were closely connected, so that any man’s or any woman’s right to produce food from the soil was dependent on his relationships with other members of his particular community.
