Palm Oil and Protest(I***N=9780521025577) pdf 下载 极速 mobi txt pdb lrf 网盘

　　The Ngwa region lies in the heart of the Nigerian palm belt.

Palm oil is one of the oldest foodstuffs of the region and has also

been an export crop, produced mainly by women, from the early

nineteenth century to the present day. This book describes the rise

and fall of the oil palm export industry. In contrast to the views

of both dependency and vent-for-surplus theorists, it is shown that

patterns of export growth and capital investment were heavily

influenced by locally inspired changes in food production methods,

gender and intergenerational relati***hips. The processes of change

within the domestic and export economies became increasingly

closely intertwined after 1924, when African coastal middlemen

began to settle further inland and to spread the knowledge of

cassava and Christianity, and when colonial officials introduced

direct taxation and c***olidated their Native Court system. This

book draws upon a wide range of economic, botanical,

anthropological and historical studies as well as on colonial

archives, but its heart lies in the oral evidence and life

histories generously provided by Ngwa men and women.
