Jones" Subject: anenews Book: "Landless and Hungry? Access to Land in Early and Traditional Societies" From Remco de Maaijer via Jack Sasson comes this announcement. - -------------------------------------------------- New CNWS publication ==================== B. Haring and R. de Maaijer (eds.), "Landless and Hungry? Access to Land in Early and Traditional Societies" In a society based on agriculture, whether that society is an "early" or a "traditional" one, access to land is of vital importance to the vast majority of its population. Although the study of this subject has rightly become one of the major growth areas in several scholarly disciplines, it would seem that several aspects still require further theoretical and practical consideration. The papers collected in this volume examine various aspects of access to land in early and traditional societies. They were first presented at a symposium sponsored and hosted by the Research School CNWS, School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies at Leiden University, and held on 20 and 21 June, 1996. This interdisciplinary seminar was attended by specialists in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, Assyriology, Egyptology, law, and papyrology. Contents: B.
