| dc.description.abstract | This is the third article of a series appearing in this Bulletin dealing with various aspects of Migrant Labour. The first by Mitchell (1958) dealt with the reasons, which motivated Africans in their movements in search of work: the second by Watson (1959) dealt with the effect on the rural economy of the departure of the menfolk. This latter article describes a situation amongst the Mambwe of Northern Rhodesia which is perhaps not general throughout East and Central Africa, a situation which permits a proportion of the menfolk to be absent without undue disturbance to the tribal economy and one which allows the industrial wage earner to return to the tribal area when the period of his industrial employment is over. ’As long as Africans,’ Watson concludes, ’have secure rights to the use of tribal land they will cling to the land, to the subsistence it provides, and to their tribalism, for -this offers a security they understand. ’ Mitchell (1958) summarizes his analysis by isolating three situations:- The first where the economic opportunities of the home area are such that the pull of home prevails over the necessity to go out and earn the peasant producer, such as the Ghagga coffee grower on the slopes of Kilimanjaro is typical of this situation: The second where the economic needs cannot be satisfied locally, nor can social needs be satisfied in the area of employment | en_US |
