Résumé
Plusieurs études ont remis en question le fameux lien causal régissant la taxa tion des travailleurs migrants. Ils ont rejeté le stéréotype usé selon lequel les Africains travaillaient pour payer des impôts, obtenir davantage de têtes de bétail et épouser toujours plus de femmes. Cette communication phénomène de la migration constitue un aspect historique du ch car les travailleurs migrants font le choix économique délibéré d en exploitant les ressources disponibles, ou en migrant vers d'au est fait une scrupuleuse analyse de la façon dont la taxation a contr d'un cadre de prolétariat. Les économies de migrants en Afriqu Rhodésie, en Algérie et au Kenya, en particulier, étaient basées des populations rurales d'une économie pastorale et agricole à un de classe ouvrière, selon le paradigme thomsonien. Ces derniers de simples «rouages dans la machine du capitalisme», comme l'af Odhiambo. Les Africains sont allés à la recherche d'un travail rém diversité de raisons, parmi lesquelles le fait que l'on faisait par force pour confisquer leur bétail, ce qui les contraignait à aller à la travail payé. D'autres partaient à la quête d'emploi pour acquér indépendance et une certaine auto-suffisance. L'auteur affirme qu'un de jeunes se sont volontairement exilés pour gagner de l'argent, q ensuite pour payer diverses taxes, mais également pour acquér matériels, tels que du bétail, des draps, des habits et autres, mais devenir entrepreneurs. La conséquence en est l'émergence d'un cadr qui constitue un important trajectoire de vie, au Kenya.
