Descrizione del libro

This is an account of the incorporation of 'traditional' community into a modern town. In the first part of this book Robert Launay describes two Dyula communities prior to the twentieth-century colonial period. The second part examines the ways in which they have adapted to the recent loss of their trading monopoly, and the strategies they have employed.
