For all of the faults of the previous volume, Bhavagan is forgiven if one reads his Inter-relations Between Technological Choices and Industrial Strategies in Third World Countries. While instructing the reader as to why the choice of industry (i.e. choice of product) always preceeds the choice of technique of industrialization, Bhagavan also manages to analyze the conditions leading underdeveloped countries to their respective decisions. 'The flaws of Critique are avoided, replaced by the shortcoming of glossing over developments occurring in socialist developing societies.
While best described as an even, instructive effort, Torp's Industrial Planning and Development in Mozambique is relatively uncritical. This volume describes the efforts of Mozambique's newly formed socialist government to cope with the maintenance and redirection of one of Africa's most industrialized economies. Eschewing nationalization whenever possible, FRELIMO encourages foreign participation, yet allows the import substitution of consumer (luxury) goods to collapse. Torp describes this policy as pragmatic, but also depicts- it as an attempt to resolve the contradictions existing between the government and the industrial sector. As this is a political strategy, not an industrial one, the entire discussion is descriptive as opposed to analytical, and therefore somewhat tentative.
Colonization & Migration: A Summary of Border-crossing Movements in Tanzania Before 1967. By Bertil Eger6. Uppsala: Scandinavian Institute of African Studies, 1979. Review by Marcia Texier Sega., Indiana University Southeast.
This pamphlet will be useful to Africanists seeking quantitative data, some not previously published, on migrants into and out of Tanzania during the colonial period and first decade of independence. It will also be useful to teachers as a case study illustrating the interplay between colonialism and population movements.
Eger6 uses historical sources and 1948, and 1967 census data to estimate the numbers and movements of Europeans, Arabs, Asians and Africans offering brief but accurate and informative explanations for trends, and insights into their consequences. The reliability of the data is assessed.
Data from the 1967 census show over 440,000 persons living in mainland Tanzania who were born elsewhere including over 38,000 non-Africans. Native and foreign born non-Africans made up just over 1% of the mainland population. in 1967.
Labor migrations into and out of Tanzania can be documented, but movement across colonially defined borders by people whose traditional homelands are split, and the movements of political and other refugees are more difficult to estimate.
The text and tables, apart from a few awkward phrases, are readable.
