After the introduction, ch. 2 discusses in general terms the interpretation of socioeconomic change in Tanzania's rural areas. Ch. 3 treats the agricultural decline in the Uluguru mountains. Ch. 4 discusses the Waluguru traders in Dar es Salaam. Ch. 5 and 6 examine land disputes. Ch. 7 discusses life expectations of school-leavers in Megeta.
