Two
Worlds of Cotton: Colonialism and the Regional Economy in
the French Soudan, 1800-1946

A major
new approach to the study of the social and economic history
of colonial French West Africa, this book traces French
efforts to establish a cotton export economy in the French
Soudan from the early nineteenth century through the end
of World War II. By showing how a regionally based local
economy successfully withstood the pressure from European
capitalist markets and colonial aspirations, the book sheds
new light on various generally accepted assumptions about
the character of colonial economies and their integration
into global export markets. It thus challenges the notion
that colonial political, military, and elite intellectual
hegemony translated directly or easily into regional economic
hegemony. In making this argument, the book points to inherent
weaknesses in the usual view of the colonial state, notably
the failure to recognize sufficiently the enduring power
of local processes - or local currents of culture and practice
- to withstand empire and ultimately shape the experience
of colonialism.
