In contrast to Latin America, large-scale social movements struggling against land grabbing have not hitherto emerged in Africa. However, this article shows that African land grabs do not pass uncontested. Affected populations as well as a variety of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are involved in the struggle. One prominent struggle against land grabbing is currently taking place in Senegal and this article examines the dynamics of the resistance against this particular land grab.
