Books
African Agriculture and the World Bank: Development or Poverty? (ed.) 2007.
Uppsala: Nordic Africa Institute, 75 pp. ISBN 91-7106-608-4,
(with Kjell Havnevik, Lars-Erik Birgegård, Prosper Matondi and Atakilte Beyene)

Despite the World Bank’s poverty alleviation concerns, agrarian livelihoods continue to unravel under the impact of economic liberalization and global value chains. Can African smallholders bounce back and compete? The World Development Report 2008 argues they can and must. How realistic is this given the history of World Bank conditionality in Africa? This book explores the productivity and welfare concerns of Africa’s smallholder farming population in the shadow of the World Bank.

Identity and Networks: Fashioning Gender and Ethnicity across Cultures (ed.) 2007.
Oxford: Berghahn, 310 pp. (with Judith Okely and Jonathan Webber)

Contrary to the negative assessments of the social order that have become prevalent in the media since 9/11, this wide-ranging collection of essays, mostly by social anthropologists, focuses instead on the enormous social creativity being invested as collective identities are reconfigured.

Using fieldwork findings drawn from Africa, Asia, and Europe, special emphasis is placed on the reformulation of ethnic and gender relationships and identities in the cultural, social, political, and religious realms of public life. Under what circumstances does trust arise, paving the way for friendship, collegiality, knowledge creation, national unity, or emergence of leadership? How is social life constructed as a collective endeavour? The inspiration for examining these conundrums is the work and person of Shirley Ardener, to whom the volume is dedicated.

African Urban Economies: Viability, Vitality or Vitiation? (ed.) 2006.
London: Palgrave Macmillan, 353 pp. (with Deborah Potts)

How have Africa’s cities provided economic livelihood and shelter to growing populations amidst the continent’s protracted economic crisis of the last three decades? African urban areas have not received as much attention as rural areas, yet the continent is steadily urbanizing with profound implications for national economic development and welfare. This book provides fresh insight into the dynamics of African urban economic growth and associated social and political change. Based on recent city case studies and longitudinal data collection, the book outlines economic trends and key urban theories in an accessible style.

The Transnational Family: New European Frontiers and Global Networks. (ed.) 2002. Oxford: Berg Press, 276 pp. (with Ulla Vuorela)

Migrant networks, in the form of families, associational ties and social organizations, stretch across the globe, connecting cultures and bridging national boundaries. The effects of this global networking are vast. This book is the first to stand back and explore the impact.

Families living outside of their original national boundaries have had, and continue to have, a profound influence over the flow of people, goods, money and information. From an examination of nineteenth-century transnational families emigrating from Europe, to the Ghanaian Pentecostal diaspora in Europe today, this book combines broadly based analysis with more unusual case studies to reveal the complexities that immigrants and refugees must contend with in their daily lives. The book, wide-ranging in its geographical and thematic scope, is a highly important and timely addition to debates on transnational families, immigrants and refugees.

Alcohol in Africa: Mixing Business, Pleasure and Politics. (ed.) 2002.
Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 305 pp.

Alcohol in Sub-Saharan Africa has historically been a conduit for religious and political expression controlled by male elders. Currently, alcohol is a taboo subject for donors and African governments alike, yet it is at the nexus of many of the continent's most pressing problems. Agricultural sector decline, large-scale labor redundancy, household instability, and AIDS have cause or effect linkages to changing alcohol usage. This edited collection explores the economic, political, and social meanings of alcohol usage. The material is contextualized within a review of existing anthropological, social history, and social welfare literature on alcohol, and a broad historical overview of the continental trends in alcohol production and consumption. Both the pleasure and the pain of alcohol usage emerge, providing insight into the ambiguity of alcohol in Africa today.

Disappearing Peasantries? Rural Labour in Africa, Asia and Latin America. (ed.) 2000.  London: Intermediate Technology Publications, 333 pp (with Cristobal Kay and Jos Mooij)

Alcohol in Sub-Saharan Africa has historically been a conduit for religious and political expression This book comes at a time when the peasant transition process has reached a critical juncture. The rich case study material from three continents illustrates the pressures and opportunities that have befallen peasants, leading them to ‘diversify’ into a number of occupations and non-agricultural income-earning avenues. Multi-occupational livelihoods, intensified labour mobility and flexibility, straddled urban and rural residences, and flooded labour markets are analyzed, showing how peasant labour redundancy can undermine rural welfare and political stability. Academics and policy-makers of the 21st century cannot ignore the world’s disappearing peasantries without endangering sustainable development and international security.

Farewell to Farms: De-Agrarianization and Employment in Africa. (ed.) 1997. Aldershot: Ashgate, 265 pp. (with Vali Jamal)

Is Africa’s future necessarily rooted in peasant agriculture? The title of this book, Farewell to Farms, is deliberately intended to challenge the widely held view that Africa is the world’s reserve for peasant farming. African rural populations are themselves moving away from a reliance on agriculture. ‘Deagrarianization’ takes the form of urban migration as well as the expansion of non-agricultural activities in rural areas providing new income sources, occupations and social identities for rural dwellers.

Using recent continent-wide case study evidence, the authors assess the impact of deagrarianization on household welfare, business performance and national development. Their findings, revealing new economic trajectories and social patterns emerging from a period of accelerated change, call into question assumptions about Africa’s future place in the world division of labour

Women Wielding the Hoe:
Lessons from Rural Africa for Feminist Theory and Development Practice. (ed.) 1995.
Oxford: Berg Publishers, 282 pp.

How effective is western aid-agency intervention in Africa? What can African women do to manage the AIDS crisis? Can western feminist theory be applied to the rural African context?
 
These vital issues, and many others, are considered in this topical book by eminent scholars and development consultants. The book aims to increase awareness of the importance of women agricultural producers to African material development and to expose the western biases that have traditionally pervaded the study of rural African women. The authors’ critical analysis of conventional research methodology and key ‘women and development’ debates over the last three decades will stimulate new research perspectives.

Liberalizing Tanzania's Food Trade:
Public & Private Faces of Urban Marketing Policy 1939-1988. 1993.
London: James Currey Publishers, 305 pp.

Why and how did Tanzania liberalize its trade in staple rice and maize? Deborah Bryceson shows the way the process has affected grain traders and households in five Tanzanian towns. She draws on ten years’ research to put this rich material within the political, social and geographical context of a country which took a pioneering role after independence. The independent Tanzanian government believed that parastatal marketing was central to food security. So the long economic crisis had an associated moral crisis of public accountability. This led to conflict with the IMF over the relative roles of the state and the market.

Food Insecurity and the Social Division of Labour in Tanzania, 1919-1985. 1990. London: Macmillan, 285 pp.

Most studies of famine and the African food crisis stress how the socio-economic context affects the occurrence of food shortages. In contrast, this book argues that food insecurity itself influences the social and economic organization of the society. Through this approach the author provides a new interpretation of the causes and consequences of Tanzania’s present economic crisis. The book examines the impact of changing food availability on the functioning of the state, the market and clientage networks over seven decades. The conclusion is that clientage is no less important than the state and market as an organizational force in Tanzanian society, and, under heightened food insecurity, the state and market lose ground to clientage.

Current Research

Tina Wallace has been working with Centre for research and Training for development and Action in Lebanon, a women's network across the Middle East working on range of issues affecting women's lives, including citizenship, poverty and currently especially issues around women's economic empowerment. The workshops were training women and men in a gender approach to PRA and looking at barriers preventing women's economic involvement in Lebanon. This work will become research across the region in 2007.

In Ghana Tina was working with Womankind and their key partner Gender Centre on violence against women. This work involves training community elected people to undergo training and then work on individual cases of domestic violence, as well as addressing wider attitudes and behaviour within the villages. This work is also linked to national work on domestic violence and DV coalition has just celebrated the passing of the Domestic Violence bill after 10 years of lobbying.

Tina is working with Womankind in an on-going way on issues of partnership and whether there are special characteristics to partnership between committed women and how to nurture these in the rather rigid contexts of aid and donor conditionalities.

Review of major DFID funded HIV/AIDS project in Africa, implemented by ActionAid international: Support to International Partnership Programme Against AIDS (SIPAA), 2005 and working with Transform Africa on a research project, 'African perspectives on gender'. Also research into direct budget support and its impact on civil society in Africa.
