Migration and differentiation in western Kenya: A tale of two sub‐locations
结合社会学与经济学方法，研究西肯尼亚两个子区域的长期与当代分化过程，发现劳动力移民通过资助教育投资促进分化，且该过程存在历史断裂。
Drawing on sociological and economic research methods and fieldwork, we examine processes of long term and contemporary differentiation in two west Kenya sub‐locations. Our analysis is at variance with existing explanations which, by extrapolating from Central Kenya, have emphasised links between migration, land purchases and agriculture. We find that the interaction of economic and social processes with ecological constraints has resulted in labour migration promoting differentiation through its funding of investment in education. This process is not linear; there are historical ruptures in the processes of differentiation.
