The Transition from Primitive Communism: The Wolof Social Formation of West Africa
以沃洛夫社会为例，用阶级理论分析原始共产主义，解释无阶级社会如何向阶级社会过渡，对马克思主义经济史学者有参考价值。
The transition from a classless to a class society has been a major dilemma to Marxist economic historians. Using the Wolof social formation of West Africa as its historical example, this paper produces a class theoretic analysis of primitive communism. From this analysis, it is then able to show how such a transition could take place.
