  • Promised land: settlement schemes in Kenya, 1962 to 2016
    2021
    Co-Authors: Boone Catherine, Lukalo Fibian, Joireman Sandra
    Abstract:

    Smallholder settlement schemes have played a prominent role in Kenya's Contested History of statebuilding, land politics, and electoral mobilization. This paper presents the first georeferenced dataset documenting scheme location, boundaries, and attributes of Kenya's 533 official settlement schemes, as well as the first systematic data on scheme creation since 1980. The data document precisely that almost half of all government schemes were created after 1980, as official rural development rationales for state-sponsored settlement gave way to more explicitly welfarist and electoralist objectives. Even so, logics of state territorialization to fix ethnicized, partisan constituencies to statedefined territorial units pervade the History of scheme creation over the entire 1962-2016 period, as theorized in classic political geography works on state territorialization. While these "geopolitics" of regime construction are fueled by politicians' incentives to create and manipulate patronage, they also sustain practices of land allocation that affirm the moral and political legitimacy of grievance-backed claims for land. This fuels on-going contestation around political representation and acute, if sociallyfragmented, demands for state-recognition of land rights, as theorized in recent political geography and interdisciplinary works on rural peoples' demands for state recognition of land rights and strategies to secure access to natural resources. Kenya's History of settlement scheme creation shows that even in the country's core agricultural districts, where the reach of formal state authority is undisputed, the territorial politics of power-consolidation and resource allocation continues to be shaped by social demands and pressures from below
