Title: Innovation and individuality in African development
First published: 1998
Description: This book contributes to debates on how to improve development alternatives in West Africa, from the distinctive approach of anthropology the analysis of local systems. With Innovation and Individuality in African Development, the authors present a contemporary case study of migrant Malian farmers to illustrate how Africans themselves have tried to improve their lives and are often successful at doing so.

This volume will speak to anthropologists, international development specialists, and those interested in contemporary Africa, offering a counterweight to much of the contemporary literature that stresses problems rather than solutions.
