Mountain Farmers: Moral Economies of Land and Agricultural Development in Arusha and Meru

This study delves into the conflict between the Meru and Arusha ethnic groups and their German and British colonial rulers over land and agricultural development on Mount Meru in northern Tanzania. It demonstrates how, confronted with a ring of alienated land encircling Mount Meru by European settlers, the Meru and Arusha communities successfully intensified their own irrigated agriculture, catalyzing an indigenous agricultural revolution.
