The emergence of land concentration in the West African savanna
This essay's thesis is that donor nation's efforts to reproduce their own production contribute to land concentration and class formation in the West African savanna. This is because public investments by certain donor nations encourage two land-appropriation processes and one land-expropriation process. New classes are emerging as a result of these processes, consisting of those gaining and those losing control over land. [land concentration, cl…

Barma bridewealth: Socialization and the Reproduction of Labour in a Domestic African Economy
Opening ParagraphThis essay argues that courtship procedures, of which the giving of bridewealth forms a part, may under certain conditions help to socialize younger men into their mature economic roles. Further, in so far as bridewealth performs these functions, it contributes to the reproduction of labour in these economies
Social Evolution: A Learning-Theory Approach
This paper presents a learning-theory approach to social evolution. It shows how contingencies of reinforcement (COR) qualify as a Darwinian selection mechanism, and suggests that some evolution in social forms is due to behavioral selection by COR. The analysis is illustrated with material concerning proposed evolutionary changes in Abu Krider village composition. Defense of the position against anticipated criticism includes consideration of al…
The Rationality of Divorce: Marital Instability among the Barma of Chad
The Extending Strategy: Regulation of the Household Dependency Ratio
This paper considers the economics of a strategy (termed "extending") of adult recruitment to households in societies with limited capital investment possibilities and abundant land. Using data from riveraine, northwest Barma of Chad, it is shown that the extending strategy can regulate dependency ratio forming households with greater productive capacity, due to larger labor forces, and hence the potential for superior economic performance. Exten…
