This enduring agricultural revolution was brought about by tens of thousands of small-scale peasant farmers. Drawing on archival research, oral histories, and long-term fieldwork on the small farms of northern Ivory Coast, this book places the rural African actors center stage and brings out the complex and manifold ways in which they shaped farming systems and influenced the government policies that brought the cotton economy into being, and sustained it from the 1880s to the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939364602144,"sku":"NEW0521788838","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-peasant-cotton-revolution-in-west-africa-cte-divoire-1880-1995-african-studies-series-number-101-0521788838","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
