Abstract:In this article the author elaborates the role of the state in promoting the commoditisation of peasant agriculture. This is done through a number of provisional hypotheses which 'map out' three connected areas of contradictions: contradictions in the circuits of peasant economy, in the apparatuses and practices of the state, and in the sphere of state-peasant relations. These schematic hypotheses are presented with the intention of contributing to current debates about the nature of the agrarian question, and of the state, in contemporary Africa. Notes.
