Dennis Galvan tells the story of what happened when French colonial rulers, and later the government of the newly independent Senegal, imposed new systems of land tenure and cultivation on the Serer of Siin. Galvan's book is a painstaking and skillful autopsy of ruinous Western-style "rational" economic development policy forced upon a fragile, yet self-sustaining, society. It is also a disquieting demonstration of the general folly of such an approach and an attempt to articulate a better, more sensitive, and ultimately more productive model for change-a model Galvan calls "institutional syncretism."Land tenureSenegalSine-SaloumHistorySerer (African people)Government relationsAcculturationSenegalCase studiesSine-Saloum (Senegal)Social conditionsSine-Saloum (Senegal)Economic conditionsacademic.agriculture.change.colonial rulers.colonial.colonialism.ecology.economics.ecosystem.ecosystems.environmentalism.environmentalist.land cultivation.land tenure.land use.productive agriculture.regional.rural community.rural land.rural society.scholarly.senegal.social change.social justice.social studies.society.sustainability.transformation.Land tenureHistory.Serer (African people)Government relations.Acculturation333.3/089/96321Galvan Dennis Charles1514215MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782920003321The state must be our master of fire3754126UNINA
