- Synopsis
- Based on the author's fieldwork, the author considers the rural development of the Iraqw of Tanzania--a little-studied group of mixed pastoralist-agriculturalists. . Author Katherine Snyder focuses on how the Iraqw perceive, respond to, and affect development projects in Tanzania. Snyder explores how the ideology of development affects people's actions, from what crops to plant, to what to wear and do at their weddings, and considers too how issues of development play out between elders and juniors, men and women, and wealthy and poor. She shows the creativity of local actors in adapting to new ideological shifts and using the rhetoric of development to pursue their own goals. Avoiding jargon and making extensive use of vignettes - stories of peoples' lives and incidents - The Iraqw of Tanzania illustrates its themes in a manner useful and fascinating to students. *Detailed, richly textu red ethnographic material Covers fundamental anthropology topics (kinship, politics, gender, economy, etc) A small, affordable case studies book to be assigned with a core textbook in introductory anthropology courses. Africa, Third World development, postcolonial studies, and anthropology of religion.
