Books by Katherine Snyder

Snyder focuses on how the Iraqw perceive, respond to, and affect development in Tanzania. She explores how the ideology of development affects people's actions, from what crops to plant, to what to wear and do at their weddings, and considers too how issues of development play out between elders and juniors, men and women, and wealthy and poor.

Based on the author's fieldwork, the author considers the rural development of the Iraqw of Tanzania--a little-studied group of mixed pastoralist-agriculturalists.
