Things Fall Apart Again
International economics and global politics are unfamiliar territory for many. However, the operations of institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (I.M.F.) have profound impacts upon the countries with which they treat, and these extend beyond financial issues and geo-politics. This article indicates how the I.M.F. has imposed 'conditionalities' in sub-Saharan Africa as integral elements of Structural Adjustment Pro…

Geography and the study of third world underdevelopment re-revisited
Progress in development geography has been recently associated with the shift of the perspective on underdevelopment from a right-wing, conservative standpoint to a leftward, liberal-radical position. Marxism often conceals its message in obscure rhetoric with moral overtones on colonialism, slavery, poverty, and underdevelopment. Liberal academics have lamely acceded to the dogmas of this once-assertive ideology. Marxist view have exerted a stim…

Urban Bias in Underdevelopment
Internal and External Forces Acting Upon Disparities in Sierra Leone
The investigation of African economies has been dominated by two perspectives. On the one hand, the neo-classical or diffusionist position views third-world nations as essentially repeating the same development path as occurred during the historical experience of the now-industrialised nations. This paradigm indicates that the barriers to the advance of these undeveloped economic systems are essentially internal, and that they include issues such…

Beyond the description of spatial pattern
This study is concerned with the factors affecting migration in Western Africa. The author suggests that the underlying factors influencing current migration patterns can be traced back to the experience of the region during the colonial era. The penetration of peripheral capitalism and the imposition of colonial administration are identified as the primary forces that led to the manipulation of migration by colonial authorities trying to induce …
The Geography of Modernization in Africa
The Spatial Structure of Development
A Geography of West Africa
Is Continuing Urbanization Possible in West Africa
The countries of West Africa are currently undergoing massive urbanward migration. The process of growth and development which these countries have experienced in the colonial and post-colonial periods has been characterized by what geographers term the process of areal differentiation. In a spatial sense, employment opportunities and developmental changes have been extremely concentrated in a few areas, especially the cities; the rural areas, wh…

The Urban System in the Migration Process

The Migration to the Cities of West Africa
National governments, politicians, policy-makers, and planners have become increasingly concerned with the manner in which human populations have been distributed among the component parts of many nations in the Third World, and especially with the three key processes of mobility, fertility, and mortality. As alterations in birth and death rates tend to have far stronger national than regional components, and as such changes can only affect relat…
Periodic Markets in Sierra Leone∗
Periodic marketing systems were absent from southwestern West Africa in precolonial times because of the lack of significant interregional trade, generally low levels of suprasubsistence production, and unstable political and economic conditions. Trade was stimulated during the colonial period, but it was largely preempted by nonindigenous entrepreneurs, and it was channeled through the nascent urban hierarchy rather than through indigenous perio…
