Abstract:	This is the first version of a chapter to appear in a volume of the Sage Series on African Modernization and Development, 'Peasants in Africa, Historical and Contemporary Perspectives', edited by Martin A. Klein. This contribution has the form of a review article in which the author has drawn upon largely unpublished work in order to comment on the most impressive book yet published on peasant history in Central and Southern Africa: R. Palmer and N. Parsons (eds.), 'The Roots of Rural Poverty in Central and Southern Africa' (London, 1977). Sections: Introduction - The problem of definition - The problem of sources - The problem of fore-shortening - The problem of comparison - Conclusion. Notes.
