... poses important questions about the prospects for rural food security in Africa. -- American EthnologistThis is a closely argued, balanced and informed survey of rural Zambia, based on extensive interviewing and careful analysis. It brings us several salutary lessons for the anthropologist and the politician on the pitfalls of dogma, and the futility of Humanist posturing. -- International Journal of African Historical Studies... a well-written and useful addition to the literature of developing areas... deserves a place in every library. -- Journal of Developing Areas Migrants No More has much to tell the reader about the capacity of women and men to organize survival strategies that respond quickly and efficiently to changing circumstances.... required reading for development specialists as well as anthropologists and historians of Africa. -- African Economic HistoryMigrants No More explores the dynamics of a peripheral, traditional economy, examining the extent to which village structures and value systems have changed over a period of 25 years in Zambia, a nation on the brink of famine in the early 1980s.
