Rezensionen
"Poverty and Wealth in East Africa is a significant book: lucid and meticulous, yet ambitious and imaginative. From the viewpoint of African studies, this work stretches significantly the time span of studies on African poverty. . . . Historians of economic thought without a scholarly interest in sub-Saharan Africa would also significantly benefit from reading this book. . . . Poverty and Wealth in East Africa should not be received just as a solid work of Africanist conceptual and linguistic history but also as a catalyst of important questions about our discipline, its 'canon,' and its methodological conventions."
-- Gerardo Serra Journal of the History of Economic Thought
“Poverty and Wealth in East Africa is an extensive and meticulously researched work that sheds light on the multifaceted nature of poverty and wealth in eastern Uganda . . . this book offers a nuanced and holistic view of economic inequality in the region, providing a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in African history, anthropology, and development studies.”
