Monica Wilson (1908-1982) and social change
Monica Wilson's writings contain a wealth of material on social change, on how institutions and groups and values change. Based on extensive fieldwork among the Pondo of the Eastern Cape and the Nyakyusa of Tanzania, her ethnographies and many articles are illuminating for many topics, including scale of change, the changing status of women, effects of Christianity, growing inequality and the ‘interpreters’. Unusual for her period, Monica Wilson …

Local institutions, tenure and resource management in East Africa
Considerable attention has been given recently to the role of local institutions and communities in the management of Africa's natural resources (Odell, 1982; Sandford, 1983; Doughlin, Doan & Uphoff, 1984). Much of the research has focused on the part that tenure rules play in resource use and conservation, and has resulted in a highly charged debate dividing, on the one hand, advocates of private property and radically new forms of resource mana…

Energy and Development in Kenya
Many developing countries have been hard hit by the double "energy crisis" of threatened fuelwood supply and the increasing burden of oil imports. During the last decade energy provision has become a vitally important issue so that energy is now regarded as a basic factor of production ranking in importance with classical components: land, labour and capital. Careful and innovative energy planning has become a necessity for successful development…

Peasants in 19th-Century Asante [and Comments and Reply]
As a result of the rise and growth of the Asante state and the development of a complex administration of leisured officials based in Kumasi, the urbanized capital of the Asante empire, there developed, in the 19th century, a "peasantry" in the area surrounding Kumasi with economic, political, and cultural characteristics comparable with those of peasantries elsewhere

Studies in Rural Capitalism in West Africa
Originally published in 1970, this is a collection of studies of indigenous economies in Ghana and Nigeria by an author with an unusual interdisciplinary approach. In the opening section it is contended that most economists interested in underdeveloped countries have neglected the detailed study of economic organization and mechanism in the field, especially in rural areas, and that, as a result, there has been little testing of many conventional…

Land Reform among the Mbeere of Central Kenya
Opening ParagraphThe Mbeere live in the area east of Mount Kenya and south-west of the Tana River. Numbering just under 50,000 they are ethnographically much less well known than their related neighbours the Kikuyu, Embu, Meru, and Kamba. In this paper we first outline the social organization, then the system of land rights, continuing to describe the government's programme of land reform, concluding by assessing the probable consequences of chan…

Trends in Development Administration
One of the difficulties associated with assessing studies of development administration arises from the broadness of the field. This discussion will be confined to rural studies in the English-speaking countries of Subsaharan Africa that center around aspects of administration as it affects development in the central government bureaucracy, regional and local governments, departmental offices and international agencies. Successful studies seem to…
