Professor Iliffe traces the history of the poor of Sub-Saharan Africa from the thirteenth-century Ethiopia to the South African resettlement sites of the 1980s. The author also investigates what it was like to be poor and how they can help themselves. This is a book for all concerned with the future of Africa, as well as for students of poverty elsewhere.
