| Résumé : |
When we studied peasant agriculture in Africa from the seventies down to the nineties, our main concern was to see how peasant agriculture would first and foremost continue to provide livelihood for families that relied on very small plots of land for their farming, or had to lease land from large land owners who charged them exorbitant rents, or had to surrender their produce to state-owned or multinational firms which rendered them to work as a "proletariat working at home". There was a concern regarding how global capitalism was exploiting peasant labor for global accumulation using the post-colonial state more or less as a prefect in this process. But the prefect, too, had to be paid for his services, and the bill always ended up at the peasant’s door step: hence the double exploitation of the peasant commodity producer. |
