This volume is the result of a group of researchers applying their insights and experience to a common theme. All the authors are con-cerned with rural development in Africa and all have focused on the con-nection between the development process and the arrangement of people and their built environment in rural space. Both anthropologists and geo-graphers have contributed to the dialogue on this subject and represen-tatives of the two disciplines are included in this volume. The members of this group have never all been in the same place at the same time, and so have utilized various electronic modes of commu-nication to link their locations around the world. Two conferences were organized, however, among a subset of the whole, in order to generate a group discussion. One of these meetings was a symposium on African rural development held at Temple University while a second was orga-nized at the African Studies Association Meetings in Toronto. Both opportunities helped raise issues that found their way into individual chapters. The audience in each case further stimulated our thinking.

This book provides a historical geographical perspective on the current development impasse (low and/or declining agricultural productivity with growing population totals) in Africa, using Machakos as a case study. In doing this the author uses three sets of factors: traditional African production systems within the ecological areas of the continent, the force of colonialism, and the role of independent governments. Contents: An Introduction; The Land and the People of the Machakos Area; The Establishment of Machakos District, Kenya Colony; The Interwar Period: 1918-1939; The Expansion of the Colonial Program; Post Independence: The First Ten Years; and The Final Amalgamation. Includes figures, tables and plates.
