Beschreibung
This socio-economic history focuses on the agricultural population of an
East African region characterized by a high environmental diversity. It
demonstrates the crucial importance of local agencies in the shaping
of living conditions during the transition from the upswing of the
trans-regional trade in the late precolonial period to the beginnings of
colonial development.
