While studying at Delhi, I had the opportunity to take a course called “Farming, Famine, and Fraud” which was an overview of American, Soviet, and Chinese agricultural development throughout the 20th century. For our final paper, I wanted to turn my attention to the African continent and so I worked on an overview of colonialism’s long running effects on African agricultural development. My findings are below. Please keep in mind I am a white, American male and thus am writing this from a place of privilege with little direct experience or interaction with African studies. All sources are peer reviewed, however I offer this only as a starting point, from having simply scratched the surface of this topic in undergraduate studies, and welcome critical discussion or response in the comments!
