Partant de l'origine historique de la promotion de l'anacardier en Cote d'Ivoire a son impact actuel dans l'economie ivoirienne, cet ouvrage tente de reveler les faiblesses des politiques mises en oeuvre en vue de la promotion de la noix de cajou en Cote d'Ivoire. Devenue le leader mondial de la noix brute de cajou, la Cote d'Ivoire peine a tirer plus de profits de la chaine de valeur du cajou. L'auteur plaide pour une lutte plus efficace contre la pauvrete des agriculteurs de la filiere cajou et propose une orientation nouvelle, plus vertueuse, des politiques en cours.

Between the late 1940s and independence in 1975, rural Mozambican women migrated to the capital, Lourenço Marques, to find employment in the cashew shelling industry. This book tells of the labour and social history of what became of Mozambique's most important late colonial era industry through the oral history and songs of three generations of the workforce. In the 1950s, Jiva Jamal Tharani recruited a largely female labour force and inaugurated industrial cashew shelling in the Chamanculo neighbourhood. Seasonal cashew brews had long been an essential component of the region's household, gift and informal economies, but by the 1970s cashew exports comprised the largest share of the colony's foreign exchange earnings. This book demonstrates that Mozambique's cashew economy depended fundamentally on women's work and should be understood as 'whole cloth'. Drawing on over one hundred interviews, the rich narratives convey layered histories: the rural crises that triggered the flight of women, their lives as factory workers, widespread payment and wage fraud, the formation of innovative urban families, and the health costs that all African families paid for municipal neglect of their neighbourhoods.
