Fishing for Resources

I guess our syllabuses might make using this tricky, but sociology is supposed to be broad in its scope so why not give it a try? This fascinating photo-essay of life in rural Nigeria gives a great insight into a rural community in a developing country. There’s lots to talk about - the gendered division of labour and the nature of community and social relations. How different would life in this village be to life in an industrial town or city? How and why would it be different? Would it be characterised by primary or secondary social relations? Would it have social classes? Discuss - and enjoy.
