| Abstract | This collective volume is based on revised papers from an international conference on Agrarian questions: the politics of farming anno 1995', held in Wageningen, The Netherlands, 1995. It presents case studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America illustrating the pressures and opportunities that have befallen peasants and that have led them to 'diversify' into a number of occupations and non-agricultural income-earning avenues. Part two contains five contributions on Africa, viz. African peasants' centrality and marginality: rural labour transformations, by Deborah Fahy Bryceson; Modernization and adjustment in African peasant agriculture, by Philip Raikes; Veiled conflicts: peasant differentiation, gender and structural adjustment in Nigerian Hausaland, by Kate Meagher; The politics of peasant ethnic communities and urban civil society: reflections on an African dilemma, by Mahmood Mamdani; Peasant wars in Africa: gone with the wind?, by Robert Buijtenhuijs |
