    Togo

    Land access is becoming a crucial issue in many African contexts, where groups and individuals are coping with land scarcity and increasing competition over resources. Based on fieldwork carried out in the southwestern region of Togo, this paper explores the plurality and adaptability of the forms of land access that have historically emerged from changing economic and political landscapes characterized by the rise and the decline of cocoa cultivation.

    Land questions have invigorated agrarian studies and economic history, with particular emphases on its control, since Marx. Words such as ‘exclusion’, ‘alienation’, ‘expropriation’, ‘dispossession’, and ‘violence’ describe processes that animate land histories and those of resources, property rights, and territories created, extracted, produced, or protected on land. Primitive and on-going forms of accumulation, frontiers, enclosures, territories, grabs, and racializations have all been associated with mechanisms for land control.

These complex structural changes are explored using a series of surveys, secondary sources and official documents. Findings show that exploitative agrarian labour practices continue despite the diversification of labour towards numerous farms and other enterprises.

    Senegal

    A l’instar de la plupart des pays sahéliens, l’économie sénégalaise reste encore très dépendante de l’agriculture. Celle-ci peut être décomposée en trois volets dont l’importance varie d’une zone écogéographique à une autre. Dans les zones comme la vallée du fleuve Sénégal, elle a cédé un peu le pas à l’agriculture irriguée, à la riziculture et à la culture légumière introduite par la puissance coloniale.
