Children of the Land in Samoa : Local Traditions and Imported "Development"
In Oceania, the land possesses people, not vice versa. After laying down a general framework, the example is given of independent Western Samoa, a nation with a very particular characteristic : the proportion of land still under customary law (which neither recognizes individual ownership nor authorizes the sale of land). There is debate in the country about changing this system. The problem of land tenure has to do with the overall social and political organization (with its several thousand chiefs), even though "developers" wrongly believe that purely economic choices are made.
