- "Matrilineality, cassava use, and cassava processing are positively related" (p.104).Romanoff, Steven - Cassava production and processing in a cross-cultural sample of african soci..., 1992 - 3 Variables
This exploratory study seeks to explain cassava production and processing in Africa by considering cultural, agronomic, and environmental data. After examining the descriptive results of the agricultural and social contexts of cassava use, the authors build upon Boserup's population density model (1965) to analyze their own hypothesized model of cassava's importance among the sampled societies.
