| Description: | This study, an in-depth examination of the interaction between French colonial development theory & practice at the Office du Niger during its irrigation project in French Soudan (Mali), focuses on how & why development policies emerge, persist, & change. Describing the daily interactions between project staff & African settlers recruited for the scheme, the author argues that Africans not only influenced farming & marketing practices, but also reshaped French concepts of rural development. |
| Key Points: | By showing the influence African farmers had on French planners in colonial Mali, this study raises questions about the authority to determine development policy that much recent scholarship has attributed to large Western institutions. |
