Access to land in the Dosseye refugee camp (Chad)
This research project addresses the issue of access to land by Central African refugees in the Dosseye refugee camp in southern Chad, between local land tenure norms and practices. Through this theme, the researcher Lewa Elie Dorksala studies the articulation between state-regulated rights of access to land and "local", customary property rights governed by local authorities, in a context of "crisis" that has become permanent. This ethnography is also intended as a modest contribution to understanding the ways in which statutory refugees fleeing armed conflict acquire land, as well as the new organizational dynamics developed by the two actors - natives and non-natives - in terms of land production.
