Book excerpt: "Tackles central questions in the literature on African agrarian social structure and rural development. . . . Remarkably broad in scope, rich in conceptual and theoretical content, and it speaks directly to development policy. Few volumes attempt so much and fewer yet do it as well."--Frank W. Holmquist, Hampshire College, Amherst "Provides new insights into debates about agricultural development in Africa through combining a historical and comparative perspective with a detailed case study. Reveals the relationship between inequality and agricultural productivity to be much more complex than the current wisdom assumes. . . . A compelling picture."--Victoria Bernal, University of California, Irvine Kenya has been a model of market-based development for many years, widely touted because of early and significant economic successes. Recent slowing in the growth of agriculture, however, has meant slower growth overall. Stephen Orvis argues that a shortage of labor at the household level--especially women's labor--explains this stagnation. In this important study, Orvis critiques "structural adjustment" and delineates the ways in which market forces have been largely responsible for Kenya's gradual shift toward a less agrarian society. He also explores the ways in which market forces have spawned the development of social and political networks that have little interest in improving agricultural growth, and he provides the first detailed account of rural participation in the multiparty electoral process. Drawing on intensive field work in Kisii District, a densely populated area in the tea and coffee zones of western Kenya, he documents the evolution of more than 100 families over three generations and the last 50 years, plumbing their current and historical economic strategies. He uses the insights generated by this micro-analytic exercise to reinterpret a number of other peasant studies done in Kenya and elsewhere. As a result he is able to draw convincing implications from his work for a surprisingly large range of issues central to our understanding of Kenyan sociology, rural development, and politics, of interest to Kenya and development scholars alike. Stephen Orvis is associate professor of government at Hamilton College.

Download or read book Agrarian Change and Economic Development written by E.L. Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agrarian Change and Economic Development is a landmark volume that examines the historical experience of the relationship between agrarian change and economic development. Because agriculture was until recently man's dominant occupation, scholars have traditionally drawn little attention to its immense historical importance. The essays in this book redress this balance, and illustrate the significance of the western world's escape from an overwhelmingly agrarian condition. It is therefore an ideal work for encouraging those concerned with current problems to perceive agricultural development as professional historians see it, and to question the oversimplified historical analogies commonly employed in development economics. Presenting historical examples of change within particular agricultural systems, and discussing their implications for national economic development, both social scientists and planners less concerned with historical revision will have equal reason to welcome these case studies of the long-run interaction of agrarian change and economic activity. This classic book was first published in 1969.

Download or read book Agricultural Extension written by Madhur Gautam and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Training and Visit (T&V) system of management was introduced in Kenya by the World Bank in 1982 as a pilot, which became effective in 1991. The two Bank Extension Projects that supported the T&V system sought to increase agricultural productivity and develop the institutions of the extension service. Whether the extension approach is effective or not became a subject for debate. The costs appear to be high and the impact on agricultural production low. This volume evaluates the impact of the system based on a credible body of empirical evidence. It identifies the system's deficiencies and makes recommendations for improvement.
