“Expropriation” as a book category gathers works that examine the forced transfer or seizure of property, land, natural resources, or other assets—typically by states or powerful institutions—under claims of public purpose, national interest, or political necessity. It spans legal doctrines such as eminent domain, nationalization, and international investment arbitration; historical and contemporary cases from colonial land dispossession to urban redevelopment and infrastructure projects; and the economic, ethical, and human-rights debates around compensation, due process, and justice. Books in this category include legal scholarship, policy analysis, history, political economy, investigative journalism, and first-person accounts from affected communities, as well as cultural or literary works that narrate dispossession and its aftermath. Core themes include sovereignty and property, indigenous land claims, land reform and reparations, resource control, war and revolution, and the social impacts of state or corporate power over ownership.
