Book Synopsis Beyond the Sociology of Development by : Ivar Oxaal

Download or read book Beyond the Sociology of Development written by Ivar Oxaal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceived as a response to the economic naïvety and implicit metropolitan bias of many 1950s and 60s studies of ‘the sociology of development’ , this volume, first published in 1975, provides actual field studies and theoretical reviews to indicate the directions which a conceptually more adequate study of developing societies should take. Much of the book reflects strongly the influence of Andre Gunder Frank, but the contributors adopt a critical attitude to his ideas, applying them in empirical situations within such African and American countries as Kenya, Guyana, Tanzania and Peru. Others pursue the lines of enquiry opened up by Latin American theories of economic ‘dependency’ and by the new school of French economic anthropology.
