      abstract = {This paper aims to explore implications of large-scale  land investment for local citizenship, with a particular  focus on customs and mobility. The concept of local  citizenship is a neglected aspect of land investment  debates. We argue that the use of the concept helps us to  identify how large-scale land investments work to invoke  the hegemonic and customary power of indigenes and  undermine local citizenship identity of migrants. The paper  explores why and how this power invoking happened through a  critical examination of experiences of five communities  that experienced large-scale jatropha investments. Using  survey data derived from 350 informants, this paper  confirms the existence of deep-rooted land insecurity of  migrants. Indigenes invoked the concept of local  citizenship identity in land claim, as large scale  agri-investments influenced local citizen status through  changing value of rural lands, and exposed the use of  hegemonic power of indigenes over migrants’ rights to land  access.},
