Social Development In Nigeria: A Case Analysis, Gloria Mead Jinadu
Social Development In Nigeria: A Case Analysis, Gloria Mead Jinadu
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Nigeria is plagued by a social poverty that continues to escalate dramatically, in spite of the rapid economic growth associated with the "petrol naira." Efforts to check this deterioration and ensure development are hindered by the lack of culturally rooted structural and conceptual supports in the social development sector. These support components have been, and still are absent and until they are established, economic growth and ideological choices will be irrelevant to any rational effort to halt the escalation of social poverty and enhance the quality of life enjoyed by Nigerians.
The Garden-Desert Continuum Competing Views Of The Great Plains In The Nineteenth Century, John L. Allen
The Garden-Desert Continuum Competing Views Of The Great Plains In The Nineteenth Century, John L. Allen
Great Plains Quarterly
In the central portion of the great American continent there lies an arid and repulsive desert which, for many a long year, served as a barrier against the advance of civilization. From the Cordillera to Nebraska, and from the Yellowstone River in the north to the Colorado in the south, is a region of desolation and silence . . . enormous plains which, in winter, are white with snow and, in summer, are gray with the saline alkali dust. They all preserve the common characteristics of barrenness, inhospitality, and misery . ... In this stretch of country there is no …
The Emergence Of The American Agriculture Movement, 1977-1979, John Dinse, William P. Browne
The Emergence Of The American Agriculture Movement, 1977-1979, John Dinse, William P. Browne
Great Plains Quarterly
Beginning in late 1977, the media, television in particular, portrayed as a unique cultural phenomenon an emerging American Agriculture Movement (AAM), a pending farm strike, and a depressed farm economy that had caused this mobilization. Much was indeed unique, especially to the individual farmers and the specific manner in which they were attempting to apply political pressures, but the American Agriculture Movement itself was similar to other organizational attempts that have taken place in rural America.
In the following paper we chronicle the emergence of the American Agriculture Movement as a distinct entity, identify the common features in the emergence …
Benjamin Harrison And The American West, Homer E. Socolofsky
Benjamin Harrison And The American West, Homer E. Socolofsky
Great Plains Quarterly
In a speech in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1891, President Benjamin Harrison expressed his admiration for the pioneers of the American West:
My sympathy and interest have always gone out to those who, leaving the settled and populous parts of our country, have pushed the frontiers of civilization farther and farther to the westward until they have met the Pacific Ocean and the setting sun. Pioneers have always been enterprising people. If they had not been they would have remained at home; they endured great hardships and perils in opening these great mines . . . and in bringing into subjection …
Review Of Riel And The Rebellion 1885 Reconsidered By Thomas Flanagan, John E. Foster
Review Of Riel And The Rebellion 1885 Reconsidered By Thomas Flanagan, John E. Foster
Great Plains Quarterly
Professor Flanagan's latest revisionist publication heralds the centenary of the 1885 Saskatchewan Rebellion with a series of developmentally related essays, expressed as chapters, that challenge the conventional wisdom as to the factors responsible for one Plains Metis community, under Louis Riel, taking up arms to redress their grievances. At the same time Flanagan fails to address one longstanding deficiency in the literature.
Flanagan's scholarly strengths lie in his analyses of political issues and processes. His two chapters on the land issues in relation to the Rebellion are without equal. His discussion of aboriginal title is of interest in its own …

Mapping The Quality Of Land For Agriculture In Western Canada, James M. Richtik
Mapping The Quality Of Land For Agriculture In Western Canada, James M. Richtik
Great Plains Quarterly
The original impetus that brought explorers and settlers to the East Coast of North America had, at least as early as the eighteenth century, evolved into, among other things, an interest in the potential of the Canadian West for European types of agriculture. As settlement spread across the continent, the perceived value of the West changed from fur hinterland to possible agricultural empire. With this shift in interest there was a change in the purpose of exploration, and as features such as rivers, lakes, and mountains became known, assessing and mapping the agricultural potential of the land began. Cartographers would …
Review Of The Roots Of Dependency: Subsistence, Environment, And Social Change Among The Choctaws, Pawnees, And Navajos By Richard White, David Reed Miller
Review Of The Roots Of Dependency: Subsistence, Environment, And Social Change Among The Choctaws, Pawnees, And Navajos By Richard White, David Reed Miller
Great Plains Quarterly
In his 1954 essay entitled "Social Anthropology and the Method of Controlled Comparison," Fred Eggan called for studies to define carefully the parameters of research "combining the sound anthropological concepts of structure and function with the ethnological concepts of process and history." Historian Richard White presents an important contribution with this monograph, which exemplifies a response to the challenge put forth almost thirty years ago. White's decision to blend methodological and descriptive devices, drawing on the literature of several disciplines, demonstrates his willingness to present the complexity of human interactions in an effort to reconstruct the perspectives of three Indian …
Review Of Prairie Fire: The 1885 North-West Rebellion By Bob Beal And Rod Macleod, George Woodcock
Review Of Prairie Fire: The 1885 North-West Rebellion By Bob Beal And Rod Macleod, George Woodcock
Great Plains Quarterly
The North-West Rebellion is one of those events in Canadian history about which much has been written without the mass of available information having been put together in a single comprehensive account. There have been narratives of participants on both sides in the rebellion and biographies of leading figures like Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, Poundmaker and Big Bear. The causes of the rebellion have been established in regional histories like George F. Stanley's The Birth of Western Canada, and the military aspects of the incident have been described in books like Desmond Morton's The Last War Drums. …

Batek Negritos from the vicinity of Taman Negara National Park in West Malaysia are a hunting and gathering people presently experiencing rapid encroachment by the modern world. Under the authority of the Malaysian government, they are being encouraged to settle and to emulate Malay subsistence farming communities. Unfortunately, this strategy has had a number of adverse effects on the Batek.

Somalia Fisheries Development: Past, Present And Future, Bruce Barbour
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
This paper is being presented in three distinct parts. Each section deals with fisheries development in Somalia, East Africa, past, present and future. The first section focuses on a project proposal by a World Bank/U.N. FAO joint effort. This proposal exemplifies a traditional approach to development. This traditional approach will be defined and then evaluated. The second section is a report of the authors consultancy to the Somali government concerning the development of the fisheries within the Coastal Development Projects jurisdiction. The approach employed was one of first defining the problem and then working on solutions. This section is being …

Mapping Kansas And Nebraska The Role Of The General Land Office, Ronald E. Grim
Great Plains Quarterly
The rectangular alignment of fields, farmsteads, and roads is one of the most striking characteristics of the settlement pattern of the Great Plains. As most students of this region's cultural landscape are aware, the dominant factor in the formation of this regular, geometric pattern was the federal government's rectangular survey system. The basic features of this survey system (base lines, principal meridians, 36-square-mile townships, sections, and quarter sections) have been outlined in introductory geography and cartography textbooks, while historical and cultural geographers have examined the system's effect on the landscape.1 In addition, much has been written about the land …
Review Of Ohiyesa: Charles Eastman, Santee Sioux By Raymond Wilson, Janet Goldenstein-Ahler
Review Of Ohiyesa: Charles Eastman, Santee Sioux By Raymond Wilson, Janet Goldenstein-Ahler
Great Plains Quarterly
Charles Eastman, Ohiyesa, was a Santee Sioux whose life invites curiosity in a different way than for great Native American leaders like Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, or Crazy Horse. Eastman was one of a very few Native Americans of his time who lived competently in two worlds. Raymond Wilson offers a picture of the whole lifetime in one concise, readable volume, showing Eastman's' life as fraught with difficulties and controversies. The work is based primarily on government documents, correspondence, others' accounts, and Eastman's own books and articles.
Eastman's maternal grandfather, Seth Eastman, was a U.S. Army captain who left his …
Pawnee Geography Historical And Sacred, Waldo R. Wedel, Douglas R. Parks
Pawnee Geography Historical And Sacred, Waldo R. Wedel, Douglas R. Parks
Great Plains Quarterly
The earth is a fundamental religious symbol for American Indian peoples. Among horticultural and hunting tribes alike, Mother Earth is the female principle, the expression of fertility and creator of life, begetting vegetation, animals, and humans. In this elemental role she often appears conspicuously in religious rituals. For many American Indian peoples, specific geographical features on the earth also figured prominently in tribal conceptions of the sacral world. The Pawnee Indians, who formerly lived in east central Nebraska, provide an instructive example of a people who had an elaborate and unique set of beliefs about such landmarks and who incorporated …

Review Of A Guide To American Indian Resource Materials In Great Plains Repositories By Joseph G. Svoboda, Herbert T. Hoover
Review Of A Guide To American Indian Resource Materials In Great Plains Repositories By Joseph G. Svoboda, Herbert T. Hoover
Great Plains Quarterly
The frequent users of primary sources are ever grateful for any index, catalogue, guide, or list that can help direct them through manuscripts, published documents, oral histories, and other original materials. Here is no exception; they will appreciate the efforts of Joseph Svoboda and staff for a helpful tool, even though it is one with serious limitations.
It is the product of a questionnaire mailing to which less than one third of the recipients responded. Of these, less than two thirds submitted relevant information. More disconcerting than this, Svoboda's Guide lists not only materials on Great Plains Indian peoples, but …
Review Of Kinsmen Of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations In The Upper Mississippi Valley, 1650- 1852 By Gary Clayton Anderson
Great Plains Quarterly
Gary Clayton Anderson's objective, indicated in the subtitle, is to provide an account of the long sweep of history leading up to the Sioux hostilities in Minnesota which began in mid-August of 1862 and culminated in the hanging of thirty-eight of the participants on 26 December of the same year. Although there is a large body of literature on the 1862 conflict, this book is a welcome addition because most studies have concentrated on the incidents comprising the uprising itself and Indian-white relationships immediately prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
Anderson theorizes that kinship was the organizing principle within and …

Small Farmers' Cooperatives In Brazil, 1964-1984 Reasons For Success Or Failure, Henry H. Gerber
Small Farmers' Cooperatives In Brazil, 1964-1984 Reasons For Success Or Failure, Henry H. Gerber
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
This study is concerned with cooperative business enterprises of small farmers. The topic has been chosen because peasants' association in supply and marketing cooperatives is considered an essential element in rural development. The author's field experience leads him to agree in principle with this assumption. But, as exemplified by Brazil, a variety of factors (ecological, sociohistorical, legal, economic and so forth) may hinder or help the inception and survival of cooperatives.
Thus, if a government aims at integrating the small producer into the national economy as supplier and consumer (as in Brazil), measures to implement t~is policy must not be …
The Feasibility Of A Zone Of Peace, P. R. Kendrick
The Feasibility Of A Zone Of Peace, P. R. Kendrick
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
Starting in 1964 there has been a movement to declare the Indian Ocean a "Zone of Peace." In an age when many in the world feel threatened by the potential of nuclear holocaust this is not striking in and of itself. What the Zone of Peace proposal provides is more valuable than the actual resolution. Empirically, it is obvious that nuclear free zones and peace zones have little validity. Historically, the weak have been vanquished by the powerful; their proclaimed neutrality notwithstanding. Consequently, a study of the peace movement in the Indian ocean may be utilized to investigate why proclamations …
Curtain Of Silence Japanese In Soviet Custody, 1945-1956, William F. Nimmo
Curtain Of Silence Japanese In Soviet Custody, 1945-1956, William F. Nimmo
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
The Soviet Union attacked- and defeated Japanese forces in Northeast Asia in the final days of the Second World War, and 2,100,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians suddenly fell into the hands of the Red Army. This thesis examines the experiences of Japanese in Soviet custody, efforts to obtain their release, and their eventual return to Japan. Repatriation of civilians from Soviet-controlled areas was slow, and military personnel were taken to the USSR for use as forced labor for several years. The Soviets conducted an intensive Marxist-Leninist indoctrination program for prisoners of war, and a professed acceptance of communism was a …

Review Of The Explorers: Nineteenth Century Expeditions In Africa And The American West By Richard A. Van Orman, William H. Goetzmann
Great Plains Quarterly
Recently the history of exploration and discovery has become fashionable-possibly as a relief from the dreary "body count" social histories that have been inflicted upon us for the past decade. The Explorers by Richard A. VanOrman is an attempt to capitalize on the new fashion for exploration history. In this work the author attempts to analyze and compare, as his subtitle indicates, "Nineteenth Century Expeditions in Africa and the American West."
This is an artificial topic since there is no overarching logical reason for comparing the two enterprises-at least none that the author addresses. Moreover, the author's approach to the …

Review Of Prairie Wildflowers: An Illustrated Manual Of Species Suitable For Cultivation And Grassland Restoration By R. Currah, A. Smreciu, And M. Van Dyk, Paul Barnes
Great Plains Quarterly
In recent years, perhaps because of the dwindling virgin prairie in North America, there has been increased public interest in prairie restoration and the cultivation of native species. However, readily accessible information concerning the germination and propagation requirements of many prairie plants, especially the nongrass species or the so-called "wildflowers," has been limited. Prairie Wildflowers is a synthesis of three years of study on the horticultural suitability of more than 140 species of native forbs and shrubs by the University of Alberta Devonian Botanic Garden.
For each species examined, information is given on botanical characteristics (growth habit; flower, fruit, and …
