This interdisciplinary collection brings together recent scholarship on the social history of agrarian change in Africa. It provides an important entry into the lived experiences of millions of Africans who cultivated cotton, often under duress, during the colonial period. The social history of cotton in Africa thus provides an opportunity to take a constant in the changing worlds of colonialism - cotton - and to explore a range of African experiences historically and geographically.

Part One Cotton policies and African realities: note on cotton and climate; the cotton campaign in northern Nigeria 1902-14 - a planning failure; cotton in german Toogoland 1800-1914; cotton and colonial order in Sudan - the Gezira system; the Portuguese colonial cotton regime in Angola and Mozambique 1946-74. Part Two Struggles over labour/struggles over markets: forced cotton cultivation in northern Mozambique; peasants and the struggle for labour in cotton regimes of the Rufiji Basin, Tanzania 1890-1918; forced cotton cultivation and social control in the Belgian Congo; cotton, peasants and the colonial state in the French Soudan 1924-32. Part Three Cotton, food security and reproduction of rural communities: cotton in Cote d'Ivoire 1912-46; ritual and resistance cash cropping in colonial Tanganyika 1920-40; the conflict between cotton and food in colonial Malawi.
