Abstract: | This article offers a preliminary theoretical framework for an analysis of labour in urban Senegal. The authors analyse the process of class formation and the class position of various sections of the urban labour force. The material derives from their studies of petty commodity and commodity production in Dakar. Analysing at the outset the dialectical relationship between the dominant capitalist mode of production and the subordinate forms of production - 'roods' of production refers essentially to a totality which is self-sufficient at both the superstructural level and at the economic base, whilst 'forms' of production exist at the margins of the capitalist mode of production, but are nevertheless integrated into and subordinate to it - the article examines the processes and relations of production which characterise certain subordinate forms of production.
