The Dynamics of Productive Relationships: African Share Contracts in Comparative Perspective

by A.F. Robertson

In rural societies throughout the world, unstable economic conditions give rise to sharecropping and other arrangements whereby two or more parties agree to combine their privately held resources. These arrangements are often not well thought of by outsiders. This book takes another look through case studies in Ghana, Sudan, Lesotho, and Senegal.
