Description
Summary:In West Africa, rural activity systems can be partly explained by the different modes in which foreigners/outsiders are received and integrated. However, in the contemporary context such an explanation cannot fail to take into account the various cotton development policies implemented since the beginning of the last century. First used to describe the emergence of agro-pastoralism in Southeastern Mali in the 1970s, this dual analysis leads to results that link development policies, pastoral migrations, exchange systems and moral principles to the foundation of society. These results enable us to place facts of development in the wider dynamics of the building of the city. Adapted from the source document.
