Recent land occupations by peasant movements in Indonesia have done more
than challenge the existing ownership of plantations and forests. They
have restructured local property and authority relations by stimulating a
strategic critique of public authority and governance practice within the
peasant movement. ‘Plantation’ and ‘forest’ are structured under different
legal regimes and institutional arrangements, which offer varied
opportunities for occupation and subsequent legalization of smallholder
land control. Different strategies of occupation and interaction with
plantation and forest companies have therefore been pursued. However,
legalization of land occupations has remained rudimentary, and possession
has not been recognized as property by government institutions. Two cases
of occupation history demonstrate in detail how claims to citizenship and
property have been opposed, ignored and denied by statutory institutions.
Furthermore, they demonstrate how land occupying farmers have attempted to
become ‘visible’ to and recognized by government institutions, and how —
while waiting for this to happen — the peasant movement experiences a sovereign moment.
