Innovation and Individuality in African Development : Changing Production Strategies in Rural Mali (Linking Levels of Analysis)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book contributes to debates on how to improve development alternatives in West Africa, from the distinctive approach of anthropology--the analysis of local systems. Until now, theoretical frameworks for approaching African development have tended to overemphasize the structural factors that constrain development possibilities (including the colonial past and contemporary political-economic dependency). In Innovation and Individuality in African Development, the authors present a contemporary case study of migrant Malian farmers to illustrate how Africans have tried to improve their lives--and are often successful at doing so.
