Differentiating Livelihood Strategies among the Luo and Kipsigis People in Western Kenya
Rural communities of sub-Saharan Africa are under increasing adaptive pressure resulting from decline in the quality of land resources. To increase food, generate income, and safeguard against risks and shocks, families are engaging in multiple livelihood strategies. This study was conducted to: 1) evaluate livelihood strategies; 2) examine the dynamic diversification process in the agrarian and non-agrarian continuum; and 3) investigate how type…
Introduction
This set of papers on social capital collectively raises very interesting theoretical, methodological, and applied questions about concept and its application. Not surprisingly, they do not resolve those questions, although they provide some useful directions for future research and for applied community development work. Bridger and Alter, in lead article in this issue, examine state of both urban and rural communities and potential for progress…
Bonding and Bridging Social Capital
With the continued devolution of power and resources from state- and federal-centered to locality-centered institutions, rural places are increasingly left to depend on their own resources to survive. One of those resources is found in the structure of local social relationships—that is, the community's stock of social capital. The purpose of this research is to examine the individual and combined effects of two forms of social capital, bonding a…
The Fotonovela as a Tool for Class and Cultural Domination
Social infrastructure and community economic development strategies
Communitarianism
Social Capital and Communities of Place1
This paper develops a framework for examining the questions: Does social capital make a difference for well being in communities of place? How might rural sociologists utilize social capital to further well being in communities? The author reviews social capital literature, contrasting rational choice and embeddedness perspectives. Opting for a marriage between embeddedness and conflict theory, he introduces entrepreneurial social infrastructure …
Entrepreneurial Social Infrastructure and Locally Initiated Economic Development in the Nonmetropolitan United States
A community embeddedness perspective hypothesizes that nonmetropolitan localities high on entrepreneurial social infrastructure (ESI) are more successful at implementing economic development projects than those lacking ESI. ESI is a format for converting social capital into organizational forms that facilitate collective action. Logistic regression revealed that localities with projects were more likely to have an unbiased newspaper, multiple con…
Rural Communities
Entrepreneurial Social Infrastructure
Local communities are faced with increasing responsibilities to provide for their own well-being and development. With fewer resources, communities need more successful ways of uniting people and resources. Entrepreneurial social infrastructure (ESI) is a necessary ingredient for successfully linking physical resources and leadership for community development. ESI includes three elements: symbolic diversity, resource mobilization, and quality of …

The Growth of Class Struggle
The Fotonovela as a Tool for Class and Cultural Domination
Equity in Financing Primary and Secondary Education
Per pupil educational costs for Kansas counties are analyzed according to degree to which the county is rural. The loss or gain due to migration of educated young people is then added into the costs. Those costs are then compared to ability to pay according to a number of indicators in each category of the county. The impact of various forms of taxation to support schools is analyzed. Rural counties spend more per pupil and pay higher per capita …
Differentiation and Solidarity in Agricultural Communities
The hypothesis that communities may be characterized by their degree of sociocultural complexity has taken many forms, from earlier polar typologies to recent detailed analyses of the social division of labor. Without reviewing such well-known material, it may be said that the significance of such a dimension - here called differentiation - is widely recognized. It is a concept that organizes a wide variety of institutional patterning previously …
