Give a landless man a stake in the soil and you may change his whole life. Peter Speek examines land settlement as social policy: how giving immigrants and workers a real piece of ground shaped their futures and the nation's. Thoughtful, humane, and grounded in real cases. A serious look at what happens when ordinary families finally own the land they work.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
