The present article explores Brazilian ethnic heritage policies in the light of land ownership. While focusing on former Maroon communities ? known as the ?remnants of the Quilombos? ? we analyse how and why the general consensus regarding cultural heritage can fall apart in the course of implementing these policies, especially when they appear to interfere with land tenure. In Brazil, most ethnic policies are accompanied by land restitution procedures. Cultural heritage is no longer just a question of identity and memory: it affects the very sensitive question of land reform. By superimposing ethnic claims and land ownership in a country where land distribution remains dramatically unequal, legislators have opened up a Pandora?s Box full of promises, frustrations and conflicts.; The present article explores Brazilian ethnic heritage policies in the light of land ownership.

Seventeen years after Guyana introduced a positive, liberal abortion law, the government, professional bodies and civil society together have failed to give any leadership in implementing that law. How can one explain that after an outstanding campaign of extensive ministerial and parliamentary consultation, as well as widespread engagement from religious organisations and the media, so little has been done by way of implementing the law? This paper seeks to trace some aspects of the campaign for law reform and to learn from the difficulties of providing services over the last seventeen years.
