Description

The everyday image of the Gezira Scheme, the massive-scale irrigation scheme began under British colonial rule in Sudan, is of a centrally planned effort by a central colonial power controlling tenants and cotton production. Alternatively, any idea(l)s of planned irrigation and profit in Gezira needed to be realized by African farmers and European officials, who both had their very own agendas. Projects like Gezira are best possible understood in relation to continuous negotiations. This book rewrites Gezira’s history in relation to colonial keep watch over, farmers’ actions and resistance, and the wider development debate.
