The third world in transition: the case of the peasantry in Botswana
Department of Geography, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
1985 (English)Book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

The objective of the present work is through the case of Botswana to discuss the creation of poverty in the period of transition from tribal to modern society in the Third World today. This is done by an analysis focusing at the peasantry. The recently renewed fashion of blaming the peasants for lack of improved food production and thus for poverty at local and national levels is questioned.
