Abstract:
African peasant groups and their historical evolution are described in this set of original essays. The editor reviews definitions of what a peasant is, and the circumstances of African peasantry in the light of developing political economy theory. The papers that follow deal with such topics as the determinants of the African peasant's place in society, land holding, the adoption of a cash crop economy, and the African peasant under different types and phases of foreign domination.
