Why read it?
1 author picked Theories of Underdevelopment as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Roxborough’s work helped me to understand better the structure and development of peripheral and semiperipheral societies.
It was particularly useful to me as a part of my work has to do with the study Latin American and Balkan Societies. I personally recommend the book very strongly. It was an excellent guide for those interested in the sociology of development and underdevelopment.
From Nicos' list on social sciences.
