By the 1990s, however, African farmers had declining incomes and were worse off, on average, than those who did not farm. Colonial policies, subsequent 'top-down' statism, and globalization are usually cited as primary causes of this long-term decline. In this unprecedented study of the Igbo region of southeastern Nigeria, Chima Korieh points the way to a more complex and inclusive approach to this issue. Using agricultural change as a lens through which to view socio-economic and cultural change, political struggle, and colonial hegemony, Korieh shows that regional dynamics and local responses also played vital roles in this era of transformation. British attempts to modernize the densely populated Igbo region were focused largely on intensive production of palm oil as a cash crop for export and on the assumption of male dominance within a conventional western hierarchy. This colonial agenda, however, collided with a traditional culture in which females played important social and political roles and male status was closely tied to yam cultivation. Drawing on an astonishing array of sources, including oral interviews, newspapers, private journals, and especially letters of petition from local farmers and traders, Korieh puts the reader in direct contact with ordinary people, evoking a feeling of what it was like to live through the era. As such, The Land Has Changed reveals colonial interactions as negotiated encounters between officials and natives and challenges simplistic notions of a hegemonic colonial state and a compliant native population.Africa, missing voices series.Igbo (African people)AgricultureHistoryNigeria, EasternWomen, IgboSocial conditionsNigeria, EasternIgbo (African people)HistoryNigeria, EasternIgbo (African people)Economic conditionsIgbo (African people)Social conditionsAgricultureHistoryAgricultureHistorySocial aspectsAgriculture and stateHistoryIgbo (African people)AgricultureHistoryWomen, IgboSocial conditionsIgbo (African people)HistoryIgbo (African people)Economic conditionsIgbo (African people)Social conditionsAgricultureHistoryAgricultureHistorySocial aspectsAgriculture and stateHistory306.3/490966946Korieh Chima J801809PQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910141820003321The land has changed2032436UNINA01587nam 2200361zn 450 991044445920332120231215110209.01-5044-7409-010.1109/IEEESTD.2021.9373061(CKB)5590000000438920(NjHacI)995590000000438920(EXLCZ)99559000000043892020231215d2021 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier1048a-2021 - IEEE guide for protective grounding of power lines - amendment 1 /IEEE[Place of publication not identified] :IEEE,2021.1 online resourceGuidelines are provided for Temporary Protective Grounding (TPG) of electric power lines to assist in protection of workers from voltages and currents that might develop at a de-energized worksite during maintenance of ac overhead and underground, transmission and distribution lines, cables, and equipment.
