Differences
- Maack
- Soil erosion had been cause by overpopulation, overcultivation.
- Terraces were the proposed solution to soil erosion
- Even the native authorities were resisted much to the surprise of the British colonial government: they had assumed complete power of the chiefs but were mistaken. When the chiefs did not support the wishes of the natives, they turned against them.
- They would grow cash crops to sell to be able to pay their taxes, and vegetables which were hard work but in demand for Europeans --> higher profits.
- 3/5 didn't succeed. Why?
- the Africans resisted this proposal: it challenged their traditions
- British ignorance of culture in making unmarried men and women labour communally.
- Traditional African knowledge and experience overlooked and condemned for being unscientific.
