Conceived as a response to the economic naAvety and implicit
metropolitan bias of many 1950s and 60s studies of a ~the sociology
of developmenta (TM), 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 a ~dependencya (TM) and by the new school of French
economic anthropology.
