The Conquest of the Marshes in Rwanda and the Dynamic of People Settlement.
The author establishes a typology of the marshes in Rwanda and raises then the problem of the high densities of population. Hydromorphic valleys' bottoms are more and more viewed as a solution to the lack of balance resulting from excessive demographic pressure. For the years to come, «governmental strategies», sometimes competing with the initiatives taken by the peasants, tend to increase systematically the use of the marshes which traditionaly were not much cultivated.
However this should not dissimulate a complex logic of migration which, finaly, lessens the importance of the marshes in the peasants' perception and practice of space. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
