This book explores the relationship between plantation labour and gender in Africa. 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. One of the book's major concerns is to demonstrate that the introduction of plantation labour during colonial rule in Africa has had significant consequences for gender roles and relations within and beyond the capitalist labour process. The book focuses on two tea estates in Anglophone Cameroon

Neoliberalism has become the dominant development agenda in Africa. Faced with a deep economic and political crisis, African governments have been compelled by powerful external agencies, in particular the Bretton Woods institutions and western states, to pursue this agenda as a necessary precondition for the receipt of development aid. What is particularly striking in Africa, however, is that neoliberal experiments there have displayed such remarkable diversity. This may be due not only to substantial differences in historical, economic and political trajectories on the African continent but

Mais la découverte de ces formes d'accumulation a conduit maints experts -en particulier de la Banque mondiale- à surestimer l'opposition entre l'État et la société, et à imputer à la seule corruption des classes politiques ou au dirigisme étatique la crise économique. À partir du cas du Cameroun, cet ouvrage montre que les choses sont plus complexes et ambiguës. Les processus "informels" d'accumulation, bien bien loin de représenter un "autre sentier" qui mènerait au développement, sont en réalité étroitement imbriqués aux circuits de l'État. L'une des originalités de cet ouvrage est de souligner combien les variations régionales contribuent à compliquer les itinéraires d'accumulation et les procédures de chevauchement entre les positions publiques et positions privées d'enrichissement. Aucun pays d'Afrique, peut-être, ne se prête mieux à cette analyse que le Cameroun. Quelques-uns de ses meilleurs spécialistes se sont réunis pour préciser les multiples chemins qu'y emprunte l'argent et pour élargir le débat à l'échelle du continent.
