Abstract [en]

This volume presents the papers read at the workshop arranged by the Scandinavian Institute of african Studies, in March 1985, with the theme "Land management and survival". The purpose of the workshop was to initiate an exchange of views over problems of interpretation. Two disciplinary perspectives were exchanged: one focusing on land, its uses and management, and the other one on people, their resources and lives.
