Conceived as a response to the economic naivety and implicit
metropolitan bias of many 1950s and 60s studies of 'the sociology
of development' , this volume, first published in 1975, provides
actual field studies and theoretical reviews to indicate the
directions which a conceptually more adequate study of developing
societies should take. Much of the book reflects strongly the
influence of Andre Gunder Frank, but the contributors adopt a
critical attitude to his ideas, applying them in empirical
situations within such African and American countries as Kenya,
Guyana, Tanzania and Peru. Others pursue the lines of enquiry
opened up by Latin American theories of economic 'dependency' and
by the new school of French economic anthropology.
