Did colonialism capture the peasantry? : a case study of the Karega district, Tanzania

Upphovsperson: Smith, Charles David

År: 1989

This research report argues that during the colonial period the socially acceptable standard living of the smallholder was fundamentally altered. The operation of the smallhold farm unit changed primarily in six areas. These are: 1) food security and consumer goods; 2) changed relations of production on the smallholder plot; 3) customary law and land tenure; 4) wage labour; 5) social differentiation; 6) the long term price elasticity of coffee production. Smallholders were not completely "captured" and proletarianized but neither did they correspond to Hyden's version of an "uncaptured peasantry". This is primarily because they now required certain goods and services from outside the peasant mode of production as a necessary link in their social reproduction.

Kaffe, kooperation och kultur : en studie av en kooperativ kaffeförening i Kibirigwi, Kenya

Upphovsperson: Hedlund, Hans
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1986
Ämnesord: Kibirigwi, Kenya, East Africa, Cooperative movements, Coffee, Cultural factors, Social participation, Agricultural cooperatives, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
Detta arbete är den första forskningsrapporten från projektet "Jordbrukskooperativet och landsbygdsutveckling i Kenya". Projektet startades 1983 på initiativ av docent Björn Gyllström på Kulturgeografiska institutionen vid universitetet i Lund. Kibirigwi-föreningen är belägen i ett expansivt kaffeområde och har en dynamisk ekonomi. Det kooperativa ministeriets tjänstemän ansåg föreningen vara en av de bättre i Kenya samtidigt som den också representerade ett genomsnitt av distriktets kaffekooperativ. Därmed skulle föreningen komma att ge en analytisk motvikt till det stora material om kooperativa misslyckanden i tredje världen, dessutom fanns tillgång till historiskt material.
