The African Poor
This history of the poor of Sub-Saharan Africa begins in the monasteries of 13th-century Ethiopia and ends in the South African resettlement sites of the 1980s. Its thesis is that most very poor Africans have been incapacitated for labour and bereft of support in a land-rich economy.
