Abstract

The nine case studies have been divided into two groups, with the two African studies separated from the rest. Their distinctive feature is that intrarural migration there was forced, involving mainly refugees. All the case studies cover a wide variety of conditions — geographical, agricultural, economic, social, political and temporal. This variety has a considerable interest in itself but it must not be allowed to draw too much attention from the main purpose of the study, not least because it is the unifying theme. Are there, in fact, any patterns of development which follow from the migrations relating particularly to the time involved between innovation and maturity? Do these changes draw forth the kind of response for agricultural development suggested in the introductory chapter? As the main group of the case studies presented in Chapters 4–10 are arranged roughly in chronological order, are there any discernable recurrent situations and responses, or is the whole migratory process largely a matter of random events and reactions to them?
