The book addresses two kinds of rural inequalities among Oyda
society in southern Ethiopia: existing and emerging inequalities
within the farming community, and the unequal relation between the
dominant farming community and the artisans. The inequalities
within the farming community are open-ended wherein individuals
could improve their socio-economic condition either through hard
work or manipulation of the social network while ensuring access to
resources. Difficult as it is, therefore, social mobility is still
possible for the farmers. In the second category, on the other
hand, the unequal socio-economic exchange between the farmer and
the artisans involves ascribed deprivation. Specifically, the book
investigates the ideological bases of differentiation between the
farming and artisan communities. It is argued that at the heart of
the myth-making and denigration of the artisans lays a discursive
negation of power which the artisans wield, and upon which the
farming community depends and without which biological and economic
reproduction is impossible.
