Abstract: | Using the case of Banjal rice production in south-west Senegal as example, this article examines re- cent changes in the meaning and significance of a particular legal concept: gamoen. Gamoen was a major form of reciprocity, a precapitalist legal and social relationship which changed after the arrival of capitalist social relations of production and exchange. Sections: Banjal rice production in the 19th century - the production of precapitalist labour - forms of reciprocity - establishment of capitalist commodity relations - individualisation of the basis of simple reproduction - gamoen and labour power - four theses about law in rural Africa.
