Description
The land provides resources and confers power on those who appropriate them. Our societies have constantly fought to control these resources, through conquests, civil wars, authoritarianisms, etc. How many bloody passages of political history have played out against a backdrop of contested land distribution? How many countries have expressed their desire for domination and security through territorial control? How many peoples have seen their land stolen, and with it their dreams of recognition?
