The book "Property and Work in the Perspective of Inculturation,” explains the sensitive relationship between property ownership, work, and cultural values, within African societies. Based on many sources such as African traditions, the Holy Scriptures and the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church, help us to renew our way of conceiving property and work in African contexts. Analyzed in an era of globalization and modernization, this book takes a shot at exploring the way traditional concepts of property and work meet, mix, and clash with contemporary issues and opportunities. From systems of land tenure through intellectual property rights and from customary practice to the modalities in which it is taken, it digs in and out of different aspects of the relationship between property and culture. It is engaging, thought-provoking, and thoroughly well-researched. It is indispensable for a range of readers including scholars, policymakers, and all those who are interested in the complex relationships between property, work, and culture in this age of globalization.
