Such a study is the more opportune because most of the existing works on plantation labour in Africa seem to have either under-studied or even ignored the changing conceptions of gender on the continent in recent times.

The book focuses on two tea estates in Anglophone Cameroon 606 $aAgricultural laborers$zAfrica 606 $aWomen in agriculture 615 0$aAgricultural laborers 615 0$aWomen in agriculture. 676 $a331.763 700 $aKonings$b Piet$0301034 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785723503321 996 $aGender and plantation labour in Africa$93774119 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03592nam 22009495 450 001 9910962251803321 005 20240326102031.0 010 $a9786613124517 010 $a9781283124515 010 $a1283124513 010 $a9780230305908 010 $a0230305903 024 7 $a10.1057/9780230305908 035 $a(CKB)2550000000034988 035 $a(EBL)713283 035 $a(OCoLC)728642706 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001657667 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16441966 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001657667 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14989484 035 $a(PQKB)11008676 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000495661 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12211500 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000495661 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10491999 035 $a(PQKB)11664110 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-230-30590-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC713283 035 $a(Perlego)3499720 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000034988 100 $a20151125d2011 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCosmopolitan Criticism and Postcolonial Literature /$fby R.
