Abstract:It has been said that, given the proper incentives, farmers in the developing world would 'turn sand into gold' (T.W. Schultz, 'Transforming Traditional Agriculture'. Boston, 1976). This paper describes and discusses an instance which approximates just such a transformation. It examines the relationships between a shift in the economic base and concomitant social and institutional changes among the Anlo Ewe of southeastern Ghana. Specifically, it examines changes in the organization of labor and access to resources that developed in response to agricultural intensification. Map, ref.
