The book examines the challenges rural Zambians face in integrating into the national economy, focusing on the southern Luapula plateau. It highlights how small-scale farmers struggle with agricultural hardships that persist since independence. The analysis reveals that government officials and local leaders often prioritize personal interests over the needs of their constituents, hindering rural voices in political discourse. Through this exploration, the work emphasizes the importance of economic citizenship for empowering democratic participation in Zambia's development.
