Review of the original edition of The Modern Plantation in the Third World: ‘This book will make fascinating reading for those involved in the design and management of agricultural projects. But because it explains what does and does not work – and why this is so – in this critical sector, it deserves a wider readership.’ C. H. Walton, Finance and Development, Vol 22, Issue 2 (June 1, 1985).‘Graham and Floering…have produced a thought-provoking contribution to the literature. The book represents a positive…focus on a difficult, relevant and very important question.’ Michael Tribe, African Affairs, Vol 86, Issue 344 (July 1987).
