Description

This scholarly examination of rural Tanzania explores the intricate relationships between poverty, class formation, and gender dynamics in the West Usambaras region. Originally published in 1990, the study investigates how capitalist accumulation and class differentiation develop within rural communities, whilst critiquing the role of the socialist state in reinforcing economic stratification. The authors analyse the mechanisms of rural poverty and examine how gender relations intersect with economic change, offering evidence-based arguments about the limitations of government intervention. The book presents alternative policy approaches designed to address rural development more effectively, making it essential reading for scholars and policymakers interested in African economic systems, development economics, and the social structures shaping rural communities. The Routledge Library Editions reprint preserves this significant contribution to understanding how external policies and internal economic forces shape rural livelihoods across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Key Features

This Routledge study focuses on West Usambaras fieldwork in Tanzania to examine class formation and capitalist accumulation in rural settings.

The analysis reveals how socialist state policies systematically reinforced rural differentiation and economic inequality among farming communities.

Gender relations are examined as integral to understanding rural poverty dynamics and the broader processes of economic change in Tanzania.

The authors provide a critique of government intervention approaches and propose alternative policy frameworks for more effective rural development.

Originally published in 1990, this Routledge Library Editions reprint makes a foundational development economics text accessible to contemporary scholars.
