Crisis and change in African agriculture: A comparative study of the ivory coast and Nigeria

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

The ruling class has lost its consensus … this means precisely that the great masses have become detached from their traditional ideologies. … The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear. —Antonio Gramsci (1973: 276).
