Cash-Crop Migration Systems in East and West Africa
From the late 19th into the mid-20th century millions of people migrated, seasonally or more permanently, to regions where African farmers produced cocoa, groundnuts, coffee, cotton, and palm oil for export. These “cash-crop migrations” occurred mostly under colonial rule, but they were not directed or controlled by Europeans, and were shaped by a history that preceded colonialism. This chapter studies the four major cash-crop migration systems a…
Migration in Africa
The Failure of Cotton Imperialism in Africa
Cash-crop diffusion in colonial Africa was uneven and defied colonizers' expectations and efforts, especially for cotton. This study investigates how agricultural seasonality affected African farmers' cotton adoption, circa 1900-1960. A contrast between British Uganda and the interior of French West Africa demonstrates that a short rainy season and the resulting short farming cycles generated seasonal labor bottlenecks and food security concerns,…
Moving Beyond Colonial Control? Economic Forces and Shifting Migration From Ruanda-Urundi to Buganda, 1920–60
Migration was a crucial component of the spatially uneven formation of labour markets and export-oriented economies in colonial Africa. Much of this mobility was initiated by migrants themselves rather than by colonial authorities. Building on analytical concepts from economic history and migration theory, this study explains the changing composition and magnitude of one such uncontrolled migration flow, from Ruanda-Urundi to Buganda. Migrants’ m…
Measuring rural welfare in colonial Africa
Recent scholarship on historical welfare development in Sub-Saharan Africa has uncovered long-term trends in standards of living. How the majority of rural dwellers fared, however, remains largely elusive. This study develops a new approach to reconstruct rural living standards in a historical context. It builds upon a well-established real wage literature, but moves beyond it to capture rural realities, employing sub-national rural survey, censu…
