labour are slavery and serfdom. The slave is the property of
another person and is legally forced to do that person's

tenant to sign the contract. The appropriation of part of the
surplus product is thus quite visibly inscribed in the
sharecropping compact. Exploitation is undisguised and the
household legally and freely undertakes to part with a

Cash tenancy (ist'jar) is a form of land rental tenancy
arrangement in which the tenant undertakes to pay her/his
landlord a designated sum of money for the rental of a
particular area of land. There are only 45 cash tenant land
tenure arrangements in the region and cash tenants constitute
only 7% of all land tenures in the region (see Table 27). In
the absence of the development of a real estate market in
agricultural land, determined by laws of value and the
