J.-P. Chauveau & J. Richard—Recentering a Periphery. A Local System of Plantation Economy in the Ivory Coast. A study of the plantation economy of the Gbâ starting from the neo-marxist assumption that the pre-colonial situation cannot be used as a base for analysis. The authors use wage-earning labour rather than the land-right system as a primary tool for the analysis of social classes. Small land-owners must need employ wage-earning labour to answer the pressure brought to bear on them by the State apparatus and the middlemen of the capitalistic centre. The relationship between this centre and the peripheral systems does not necessarily resuit in the suppression of elements foreign and external to the capitalist mode of production (CMP), nor does it merely preserve it in view of a more efficient exploitation : more likely, it is the CMP which generates those peripheral elements.
