Christian Lund examines the complex intersection of possession and legal authority through ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Indonesia. By analyzing how individuals navigate the precarious nature of property rights and state-sanctioned dispossession, the book illustrates the tension between formal legal frameworks and the practical realities of everyday claims. This study provides a rigorous investigation into how legitimacy is constructed and contested in environments where property law remains fluid.
