Africa
Let me preface my remarks by stating at the outset that I find this to be a thoughtful, well-written, and researched text for courses on the Regional Geography of Sub-Saharan Africa. It takes as it

African Development
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone experienced the violent results of an undeclared civil war which lasted over a decade. The state had lost control of the country's hinterland! Maiming, killing, and destruction dominated this part of West Africa, and the violence largely resulted from a set of programmes and policies of the country's post-colonial government which produced pronounced and obscene elite-peasant disparities. With the termination of hostilities, the IMF …
The Face of Neo-liberalism in the Third World
With global incorporation, the face of the Third World is being reshaped. This investigation focuses on the alternations caused by neo-liberal globalization and asks “how and why are the geographical landscapes of the Third World being remoulded?” Based on research conducted in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, involving a household survey of economically-stressed neighbourhoods and an examination of national newspaper content, the inv…
A Tale of Contestation, Disciples, and Damned
Globalization has spread throughout the world, reaching into its remotest corners. At a world scale, the recent phase of this diffusion has been enhanced and enforced by a neoliberal global financial architecture.

These operate primarily with the removal of the operation of 'urban bias'; they are reflected in reduced urban growth rates and a mounting in…

On Reading Said
The Ever-Changing Land
The vast majority of people in Sub-Saharan Africa, estimated at three-quarters of the population, live in a very intimate and close relationship with the local environment. Residing within a cultural system, a holistic framework moderates their interaction with nature. Such an association simultaneously operates at several geographical scales. The local scene is the one upon which the intimate population-environment play is acted out. But this is…
