Ecology control and economic development in East African history

Description

"This pioneering book was one of the first to place the history of East Africa within the context of the environment. It has been used continuously for student teaching. It is now reissued with an introduction placing it within the debate which has developed on the subject; there is also an updated bibliography."--BOOK JACKET. "The book puts people at the centre of events. It thus serves as a modification to nationalist history with its emphasis on leaders. It presents environmental factors which had been underestimated; for instance, it points to the critical importance of the rinderpest outbreak."--BOOK JACKET. "Helge Kjekshus provides evidence to suggest that the nineteenth century was a period of relative prosperity with well developed trade. He questions the view that warfare was pervasive and that the slave trade led to depopulation. He points to a balance between man and the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
