African Agrarian Systems Paperback / softback
Edited by Daniel Biebuyck
Part of the African Ethnographic Studies of the 20th Century series
Paperback / softback
Description
Originally published in 1963 this volume surveys various aspects of the complex relations between rights in land, social organization and economic interests in tropical Africa.
The papers - in English and French but with summaries in the other language - analyse case studies illustrating the various basic factors and problems connected with land in Tropical Africa.
Indigenous systems of tenure and their adaptation to commercial agriculture, the balance between rights and obligations of groups and individuals, and the authority and duties of chiefs and headmen are discussed in detail for many different areas.
Against this background important contributions are made towards the better understanding of problems raised by economic and political development, population increase, migration and scarcity of land.
