Inhalt:
Botswana's economic development has been extraordinary in Third World terms, yet little is known about how different social groups have adapted to the new economic opportunities
Inhalt:
This comprehensive account studies a key group of the new entrepreneurs: the ranchers. It describes their changing life styles, their construction of personal and social space, and the way they have adapted to state-initiated political and economic change, showing through a series of case studies how ranching has grown from being the preserve of white settlers to include Botswana and other African farmers as well
Inhalt:
The relationship between ranching and communal land tenure, and the effect of Botswana's Tribal Land Grazing Policy are analysed in detail, while the careers of non-elites, the practice of bordermanship, labour relations and the management of multiple enterprises and risks are also covered. This book will appeal to Africanists, development planners, historians and anthropologists
