This book examines the role played by settlement patterns & processes in rural development in Africa. The contributors point out the unusual flexibility in the way African people arrange themselves in rural space, providing a mechanism for adjusting to changing circumstances such as population growth, commercialization of agriculture, & environmental degradation. They also highlight the manipulation of settlements by African governments as part of their development programs, arguing that these changes are usually designed to give government greater control of the countryside & invariably produce deleterious & unanticipated side effects.
