La Sécheresse: The social and institutional construction of a development problem in the Malian (Soudanese) Sahel, 1900-82
Abstract
This article offers a historical analysis of how problematizations of the Soudanese (Malian) Sahel changed during the twentieth century. It traces the trajectory of a set of ideas about drought and desertification that coalesced at different times into different, dominant ways of describing the environmental problem in the Middle Niger Basin. - Introduction
