Mosaïques foncières en Arizona : paradoxe et complexités de la domination des terres publiques au pays de la propriété privée

Land tenure in the Western US, in particular in the most recent states, reflects the processes of appropriation which took place after the annexing of Northern Mexico by the US in 1848. It is characterized by a high proportion of public (federal and state) lands, as well as by a spatial configuratio...
