Description
One of the most hotly debated issues in African labour studies has been workers' consciousness and action. One of the shortcomings of this debate has been its failure to address the consciousness and action of woman wage workers. This book focuses on the consciousness and action of plantation labour in Cameroon. Two tea estates were selected for an in-depth research. A study of these estates was particularly interesting in that one of them employs mainly female pluckers and the other mainly male pluckers. This made it possible to examine whether there are any variations in female and male workers' consciousness and action. Such a comparative analysis is helpful in assessing the widespread managerial assumption on tea estates that female pluckers tend to be more productive and docile than male pluckers.
