Expanding Display Size and Resolution for Viewing Geospatial Data
Multiple-monitor configurations provide attainable, low-cost ways to create large, high-resolution displays. Increased screen space is particularly useful for viewing and interpreting rich, complex geospatial datasets, as both context and amount of detail can be simultaneously increased. To explore the utility of increasing display size and resolution for viewing geospatial data, this experiment required 57 subjects to perform map and image readi…

The Political Ecology of Bananas
This study of banana contract farming in the Eastern Caribbean explores the forces that shape contract-farming enterprises everywhere--capital, the state, and the environment. Employing the increasingly popular framework of political ecology, which highlights the dynamic linkages between political-economic forces and human-environment relationships, Lawrence Grossman provides a new perspective on the history and contemporary trajectory of the Win…

The Political Ecology of Banana Exports and local Food Production in St. Vincent, Eastern Caribbean
In St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Eastern Caribbean, export banana production is expanding at the same time that local food production is declining and food imports are rising. When export agriculture is accompanied by such changes, the general assumption in much of the development literature, including political ecology, is that export agriculture has undermined local food production, leading to insufficient food supplies and thereby requ…

Diet, income, and subsistence in an eastern highland village, Papua New Guinea
This study examines the influence of cash income and subsistence production on dietary patterns in a village in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. Data on food frequencies were collected from thirteen households on sixty‐nine randomly chosen days over an eleven‐month period in 1977. Frequency of consumption of foods in several key subsistence and purchased food groups is used as a surrogate measure of dietary quality. Analysis in…
Subsistence production, autonomy and development
An analysis of economic and social changes in a village in the highlands of Papua New Guinea from 1976 to 1981 illustrates the impact of economic boom and bust cycles on peasant production patterns, the relationship and potential conflict between subsistence and commodity production can be understood only in light of fluctuations in the degree of rural commercial involvement over time. The impact of the commercial economy on the diet is complex, …
Peasants, Subsistence Ecology, and Development in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea
Lawrence S. Grossman explores the far-reaching implications of the conflicts between subsistence and commodity production in developing countries. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting…

Adherents of the modernization school believe that cultural constraints like religious beliefs, limited aspirations, fear of envy, and conservatism are the dominant obstacles to diffusion of cash-earning endeavors among rural cultivators.1 Another set of explanations emphasizes the rationality of villagers and external political-economic forces.

Cattle, rural economic differentiation, and articulation in the highlands of Papua New Guinea
Rural economic differentiation in the highlands of Papua New Guinea has been facilitated by the introduction of commercial smallholder cattle projects. Changes have occurred in the social relations of production concerning control over land and labor and the distribution of surplus. Two weaknesses of the analytical perspective that stresses the articulation of modes of production are revealed: (71 inadequate attention to human agency, and (21 a n…
