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

Ämnesord: Lesotho, South Africa, Southern Africa, Labour migration, Bilateral relations, History, Politics, Political science, Statsvetenskap
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.

Migration to Shashemene : ethnicity, gender and occupation in urban Ethiopia

Upphovsperson: Bjerén, Gunilla
Utgivare: Nordiska Afrikainstitutet | Uppsala : Nordiska Afrikainstitutet
År: 1985
Ämnesord: Shashemene, Ethiopia, East Africa, Migration, Rural-urban migration, Towns, Ethnicity, Sex roles, Occupations, Theses, SOCIAL SCIENCES, SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP
This book is about migration to Shashemene, a small town in southern Ethiopia, before 1974. In the book, the migration to Shashemene elucidates the mechanisms behind the movement to small African towns experiencing rapid populations increase but having few opportunities for formal employment. A main issue is how the political and economic history of the southern central region of Ethiopia, as well as, the structure of the Ethiopian urban economy in the early 1970's, has influenced migration patterns of people from different ethnic groups coming to Shashemene. The ethnically stratified occupational structure is outlined, and the role of women in urban Ethiopia is discussed. Studies of other urban areas in Ethiopia are interpreted in the light of the findings from Shashemene.
