African Enclosures? - The Social Dynamics of Wetlands in Drylands (Paperback)

This text examines community-based natural resource management in Africa. This book reveals a dynamic picture of African rural society in which production patterns change rapidly in response to market opportunities. These changes are driven largely by local farmers' initiatives, and are often associatedwith an increase in market-based access to land that is evident under both customary and private land tenure.
