Persistent Poverty Summary
Persistent Poverty Reviews
"An extremely important contribution to our understanding of underdevelopment... It is in the subtlety of detail as much as the finely developed major thrust of the book that Beckford succeeds in creating that most difficult scholarly work: a multidisciplinary study of an entire genus of society which is coherent and convincing on both general and specific levels." - Journal of Modern African Studies
