N2 - This chapter explores how, in a patrilineal and patriarchal society recovering from two decades of war, women and men frame arguments about entitlement. Here claims to gardens (plots of land for cultivation) become a contested conversation about women’s rights of belonging to family and community, revealing transforma- tions in ideas and practices about land rights and land ownership. Drawing on extended cases we follow claims through a variety of legal and social fora as men and women mobilise allies and seek to draw on goodwill and the ideal of harmonious co- existence (ber bedo).
