Transforming Settlement in Southern Africa (Hardback)  | Released: 27 Jun 2001

This volume examines the ways in which changing political and economic processes impact upon patterns of population movement and settlement. It focuses on the southern African region as it has moved from the experiments of the early independence era, through civil war and refugee flight, into the current era characterised by globalization and the demise of apartheid. Focused case studies from across the region deal with specific aspects of these transformations and their policy implications.About the Author: Chris De Wet is professor and head of anthropology at Rhodes University, South Africa.Roddy Fox is in the department of geography, Rhodes University, South Africa.
