Women Plantation Workers : International Experiences (Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Women)

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The literature on plantations [...] has been substantial. Attention to women workers has, however, been scattered and sparse. The book fills a gap both in the history of post-colonial states and that of the economic expansion of Europe." --Oxford: The Journal of the Oxford Society

"The book should arouse concern or interest on several counts: the fate or otherwise in the future, of poorly educated women workers, with limited skills, trapped, if to some extent liberated, from patriarchal dominanace, on commercial plantations; how far plantations cause migration, re-alignment of gender roles, and the blending of cultures." --Anthropology in Action

"Women Plantation Workers encourages us to think in fresh and expansive ways." --American Anthropologist
