内容説明
The last two centuries have seen rural societies in the Third World in a state of flux - responding to forces like colonialism and de-colonization, to changes in agricultural technology and to the changing structure of the world economy. Perhaps the most important change has been the relative decline in the importance of rural society. In 1900 probably only 10% of the population of the Third World lived in cities; by 1980 this figure was as high as 40%. Yet in absolute terms the number of people living in rural areas has increased. The implications for food production is an important theme of this book. As case studies from areas as diverse as Haiti, Namibia and post-Mao China illustrate, increasing food production is not simply a case of increasing agricultural inputs. Development studies which do not take account of the multi-faceted and complex nature of the societies in which they operate are seen to have hindered rather than helped the development process. Throughout this text, emphasis is placed on the value of an interdisciplinary approach and of an historical perspective.
