Abstract

This is a study of labor migration and the changing village agricultural production of the Mano society of West Africa brought about by the participation in the developing western economy of the Republic of Liberia. These forces have been accelerating since 1926 due to the coming of the American owned Firestone rubber plantation, the largest such development in the world.
