The transformation of rural labour systems in colonial and post‐colonial Northern Nigeria

Authors: Kohnert, Dirk;

The transformation of rural labour systems in colonial and post‐colonial Northern Nigeria

Abstract

ABSTRACT & RÉSUMÉ & ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: The study attempts to highlight the interrelation between three central points in the ongoing debate on the political economy of development: viability, surplus, and class formation. A case study of the develop¬ment of rural labour systems in Northern Nigeria is meant to provide both a better qualitative and quantitative idea of this interrelation. After an analysis of the socio-economic effects of forced and bonded labour during colonial times, the articulation of different systems of family and non-family labour in present-day Nupeland has been investigated. Contrary to widespread assumptions about the increasing use of wage-labour in modern times, class-specific effects of labour and capital input do even result in an increasing use of communal labour by rich and middle Nupe peasants after the Nigerian Civil War: the form of the labour-contract remains, however its content changes fundamentally. The socio-economic and material base for small-scale peasant subsistence production has been gradually destroyed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RÉSUMÉ: [Différenciation des classes rurales au Nigeria. Théorie et pratique - une approche quantitative dans le cas de Nupeland] L'étude tente de mettre en évidence l'interrelation entre trois points centraux du débat en cours sur l'économie politique du développement: la viabilité, les surplus et la formation des classes. Une étude de cas sur le développement de systèmes de main-d'œuvre rurale dans le nord du Nigéria vise à fournir à la fois une meilleure idée qualitative et quantitative de cette corrélation. Après une analyse des effets socio-économiques du travail forcé et du travail en servitude pendant la période coloniale, l'articulation des différents systèmes de travail familial et non-familial dans le Nupeland actuel a été étudiée. Contrairement aux hypothèses largement répandues sur l'utilisation croissante du travail salarié dans les temps modernes, les effets du travail et du capital propres à une classe entraînent un recours croissant au travail communautaire par les paysans Nupe après la guerre civile nigériane. Le contrat de travail reste, mais son contenu change fondamentalement. La base socio-économique et matérielle de la production de subsistance paysanne à petite échelle a été progressivement détruite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: [Ländliche Klassenbildung in Nigeria: Theorie und Praxis - eine quantitative Fallstudie im Nupeland] Die Studie versucht, den Zusammenhang zwischen drei zentralen Punkten in der laufenden Debatte über die politische Ökonomie der Entwicklung aufzuzeigen: Wirtschaftlichkeit, Surplus und Klassenbildung. Eine Fallstudie zur Entwicklung ländlicher Arbeitssysteme in Nordnigeria soll sowohl eine bessere qualitative als auch eine quantitative Vorstellung von dieser Wechselbeziehung liefern. Nach einer Analyse der sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen von Zwangsarbeit und Schuldknechtschaft während der Kolonialzeit wird die Artikulation verschiedener Systeme von Familien- und Nichtfamilienarbeit im heutigen Nupeland untersucht. Entgegen weit verbreiteter Annahmen über den zunehmenden Einsatz von Lohnarbeit in modernen Zeiten führen in Nordnigeria nach dem nigerianischen Bürgerkrieg klassenspezifische Auswirkungen von Arbeits- und Kapitaleinsatz sogar zu einem zunehmenden Einsatz kommunaler Arbeit durch reiche und mittlere Nupe Bauern: die Form von des Arbeitsvertrags bleibt bestehen, sein Inhalt ändert sich jedoch grundlegend. Die sozioökonomische und materielle Basis für die kleinbäuerliche Subsistenzproduktion wird schrittweise zerstört.
