  abstract = {{T}he vernacular meaning of land-grabbing in {K}enya stresses the role played by the {S}tate in land thefts, reminding us that, historically, state power was built up through control over land. {A}ccusations of land grabbing also convey territorial representations of ethnic and national belonging, anchoring the legitimacy of land ownership. {W}e focus on the actors and scales involved in officialising private land ownership to highlight institutionally-rooted strategies to control land and contrasting formalisations. {W}e relate these to ?national? and ?ethnic? sovereignty. {C}ase studies help us to understand the local transformation of territorial control over land and power ramifications whether with regard to large-scale international land acquisitions or domestic land grabbing.},
