Nigerian Smallholders: Masters of the Environment
New!
From: Tiny Engines of Abundance
$2.20
Chapter 5 examines Nigeria in the 1960s and 1970s, when governments– advised by Western development specialists– sought to “capture” peasant production and boost export agriculture. Topics discussed include colonialism, polyculture cropping systems, the Kofyar community, European and Western colonial arrogance towards traditional African systems of knowledge, the Green Revolution, neocolonialist attitudes, environmental consequences, and the history of post-independence Nigeria to the turn of the century.
