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

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.

Migration and development : dependence on South Africa

Upphovsperson: Winai Ström, Gabriele

Migrant labour is the main source of income of Lesotho society. Its dependence on wage employment as defined by South Africa and the restrictions of foreign contract labour has made Lesotho and its government increasingly vulnerable. The geo-political situation does not seem to give much hope either. Still, the political strategy and the mechanisms of dependence have changed as a result of conscious actions undertaken by the Lesotho government. The dramatic development of this migrant labour society illustrates the realities and the potetial for change. It gives crucial insights into the South African conflict today.
