Bohannen Traders and Women’s Domain


Semiprofessional traders that begin to exchange grain across Tiv borders and utilize subsistence marketing for purpose of increasing money is uncomfortable. Tiv women’s role within this area correlates to sphere of exchange and not monetary lowest category complex. Interestingly semiprofessional traders and women who now share these marketing routes are observed “admirable” by Bohannen’s Tiv. However I wonder if this internal acceptance is easily received and/or observed when engaged with different trading groups.

Tiv paradox near of end of article estimates subsistence exports to insatiable non-local market as without sustainable recourse to local consumption. I cannot imagine hardships dealing with non-Tiv trades while attempting to outbid markets that demand higher production than time allows.
