However, any idea(l)s of planned irrigation and profit in Gezira had to be realized by African farmers and European officials, who both had their own agendas. Projects like Gezira are best understood in terms of continuous negotiations. This book rewrites Gezira’s history in terms of colonial control, farmers’ actions and resistance, and the broader development debate.Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,2730-972XAfrica—HistoryHistoryGreat Britain—HistoryAfrica, North—HistoryHistory, ModernImperialismAfrican Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020History of North Africahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714010Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000SudanEconomic policyAfrica—History.History.Great Britain—History.Africa, North—History.History, Modern.Imperialism.African History.History of Science.History of Britain and Ireland.History of North Africa.Modern History.Imperialism and Colonialism.300Ertsen Maurits Wauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut892460MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254783703321Improvising Planned Development on the Gezira Plain, Sudan, 1900-19801993223UNINA
