MELANESIAN LAND TENURE IN A CONTEMPORARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXT

D. Lea
Published by University Press of America

The author's intention is to "compare and contrast customary communal ownership as found in Melanesia with the Western paradigm of private ownership. The intent is to gain a perspective on Western institutions of private ownership through a contrast with a form of land tenure endemic to a very different sort of culture.."
