Evaluating well-being after compulsory resettlement
Despite efforts to improve outcomes, resettlement projects that aim to improve livelihoods and living standards of the displaced often do not achieve their goals. Could greater attention to the well-being of the affected improve resettlement outcomes? This article considers standards of living and well-being among one resettled group, the Bahingkolu of Manantali, Mali, relocated in the mid-1980s by construction of the Manantali Dam. Anthropologic…
Advantages and obstacles to retrofitting benefit-sharing after development-induced displacement and resettlement
Although many older development initiatives displaced people without benefit-sharing, the literature suggests that benefit-sharing may be added, or retrofitted, to an existing revenue-producing development project. This article looks at the potential for retrofitting benefit-sharing in a hydropower project in Western Mali, using results collected directly after resettlement in the late 1980s, in 1993–94, and in 2016–18. Retrofitting a benefit-sha…
Labor-saving technologies in Manantali, Mali
Facing enduring labor shortages, West Africans have long adopted labor-saving technologies. Using data from a study of 108 households in 2016-18 in Manantali, Mali, this article looks at the availability, adoption, uses, and outcomes of common labor-saving technologies in agriculture, domestic provision, transport, and telecommunications. People were attracted by technologies that they deemed useful. Locally available and relatively inexpensive t…
Risk and Value in Benefit-sharing with Displaced People
The right to compensation and rehabilitation for those displaced by projects is a generally recognised principle of multilateral development institutions and, increasingly, of national governments. There is no such consensus of the concept of benefit-sharing—neither its definition nor realisation. This paper advances this discussion: reviewing past performance of benefit-sharing and anticipating its future rationale, timing and delivery. Drawing …
Resettlement at Manantali, Mali
In late 1987 and early 1988, the Projet pour la Reinstallation des Populations de Manantali, in collaboration with the Malian administration and the national political party, established committees of health, sanitation, and water point maintenance in each new village. Prior to dam construction, the people of Manantali, the Malinke of the Bafing river lived in one of the most remote inhabited areas of Mali, with an overall population density of l…
Involuntary Resettlement at Manantali, Mali
David W. Brokensha was the first anthropologist in West Africa to look at involuntary resettlement as a consequence of large dam construction. This chapter presents a report on the relocation of some 10,000 persons in western Mali whose former villages and productive lands have been flooded out in the impoundment of waters by the Manantali Dam. It offers some preliminary assessments of the process, and suggests some ways in which it might have be…

Informality as a strategy to formalize
Informality can be a gateway to formality. The growing urban population of Bamako believed that peri-urban land not yet deeded offered potential for future ownership. Village chiefs collaborated with them to allocate plots, sometimes mimicking formal procedures, believing it improved prospects for subsequent legalization. The very prospects of future formalization motivated action
The Year 2015 in Sociocultural Anthropology
In this review essay, I explore the implications of renewed anthropological interest in materiality and the cultures that emerge from interaction among humans, nonhuman agents, and the material environment. Drawing upon sociocultural anthropology published primarily in 2015, I focus on five themes: cultures as emergent; bureaucracies in contemporary life; science, measurement, and state policy; affect and emotion in daily life; and multispecies a…
Incorporating Immigrant Perspectives Into Organizational Research and Practice
Anthropologists have "been in business" with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) for most of the 20th century, and their role as consultants for such corporations, research firms, and local organizations has continued to grow since this time (Jordan 2013). When they invest in community-based research through these partnerships, NPOs often hope to acquire meaningful and relevant evidence about practices in their communities. Yet, NP…
The Contributions of Economic Anthropology to the Political Economy of Cities
Urban anthropology's centrality within anthropology and the growing importance of urban areas to global modernity are reflected in the choice of the Society for Economic Anthropology (SEA) to focus its 2012 meeting and this journal volume on the political economy of cities. In this volume, we undertake two tasks. First, we emphasize patterns of urban inequality and political struggle that inform the distribution of economic resources and the ways…
Multiple Actors and Contested Terrains Strategies of Pro-poor Action in Contemporary Urban Restructuring
Neoliberal approaches to urban restructuring may favor the wealthier and more powerful, but neoliberalism alone cannot account for the varied outcomes found among poor urban residents. Using field studies and documentary research on five cities in French-speaking West Africa and India, this study looks comparatively at how different groups use multiple forms of power to pursue individual and collective benefits. Dominant structures produced contr…
New Land is not enough
Les associations paysannes en Afrique
The goal of this book is to provide a scientific analysis of peasant organizations in Africa and their organizational dynamics. Based on presentations at the first APAD colloquium in october 1992, the major topics covered include theoretical approaches to the relationships among state interventions, civil society and social movements, the internal dynamics of associations in rural societies, the relationship of peasant organizations to state and …

Changing from Peanut to Millet
National Organizations and Famine Early Warning The Case of Mali 1
In the Sahelian countries of West Africa, the problems of drought and famine are sufficiently long term to justify the existence of permanent food security agencies. Yet donors are reluctant to fund these agencies when there is not a crisis, forcing poor countries to use their own resources for food security and famine early warning efforts. To make more effective use of limited resources and since the data needs for effective famine early warnin…

Social Stratification and Labor Allocation in Peanut Farming in the Rural Malian Household
African farmers vary in their access to the basic resources of agricultural production: land, labor, and capital. The availability of these resources affects farmer decisions about choice of crops, crop mixes, and strategies to optimize agricultural production. Understanding the variation in resource availability among farmers and the consequences of that variation for production is one necessary step in understanding the production strategies of…
