“The transnational land rush in Africa: a decade after the spike … is a good collection of works on the recent transnational land rush in Africa, a decade after the 2007/2008 spike in commodity prices. … the book is an engaging collection with thought-provoking perspectives on the sources, drivers, resistance and ramifications of the transnational land rush in Africa a decade after the 2007/2008 spike.” (Abdul-Salam Ibrahim, Review of African Political Economy, July 23, 2021)
