    Critical participation, mere observation, or alienation: notes on research among the Baraguyu Maasai
    (Fosbrooke, 1977) Rigby, Peter
    I have been doing what is conventionally called fieldwork among the Baraguyu of test Bagamoyo District for just over one year; the number of days i have actually spent in the field, however, add up to just over two months. Owing to the exigencies of my other duties, the longest single period I spent in the area in which the Baraguyu live was two weeks, this being almost immediately followed by a further week. All the rest of the trips I managed to make to the area have aveĀ¬raged two or three days each.

    Livestock development and rural transportation in Tanzania
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 1975) Rigby, Peter
    Since 1967, Tanzania`s policies of ujamaa socialist transformation has radically altered the pattern of planned change in the rural areas from one of haphazard, uneven, often, apathetic or misguided efforts to one of integrated national policy. This policy transformation itself has in turn replaced a depressing series of usually unattainable and frequently receding goals by a set of aims which are coordinated at both local and national level as well as between rural and urban development (cf. Rweyemamu 1973 passim). Hence, overall socialist planning guides policy implementation at local level; but this does not, of course, mean that all problems are thereby eliminated. Some of the most pressing of these problems relate to the specific production objectives and methods in each local area, in terms of their ecological, economic, and sociological suitability.

    Olpul and entoroj: the economy of sharing among the pastoral Baraguyu of Tanzania
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 1976) Rigby, Peter
    For Several reasons, the analysis presented in this paper is both empirically and theoretically tentative and preliminary. The data upon which it is based were collected during brief and sporadic periods of fieldwork; but there are mitigating circumstances which possibly enhance the quality of the material thus obtained (Rigby 1976). Even the data available, however, have not been fully analyzed, since fieldwork is still in progress.
