Taking an interdisciplinary approach on how livelihoods and landscapes in the Eastern Cape link the text provides a comprehensive study of the patterns of land use over time. Three separate chapters focus on cropping and cultivation practices, livestock and foraging as well as the gathering of wild plants. The book gives a vivid picture of the social dynamics and the interaction between ‘urban’ and ‘rural’. It depicts the steady deterioration in agricultural production and the corresponding increase in dependence on social grants and wages. Despite this trend remnants of a peasantry do exist.Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;v. 9.Land use, RuralSouth AfricaEastern CapeCase studiesRural developmentSouth AfricaEastern CapeCase studiesAgricultural laborersSouth AfricaEastern CapeCase studiesNatural resourcesSouth AfricaEastern CapeCase studiesLand use, RuralRural developmentAgricultural laborersNatural resources338.1096875/5Hebinck Paulus Gerardus Maria1953-1544601Lent Peter C1544602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782211103321Livelihoods and landscapes3798979UNINA
