Reviews

'...shatters some conventional wisdom about agricultural strategies and migrant labor.' - Margaret Snyder in Choice '... fine example of the feminist historical work currently so enriching African history and anthropology. Its ambitious scope links history, politics, culture, and economy over a century, relating national and regional changes to intimate aspects of daily life. It is not only largely successful in this, but also makes an important methodological and theoretical contribution to understandings of gender and agrarian change.' - Melissa Leach in African Affairs 'Relationships among male labor migration, food production, and household nutrition will be of special interest to development professionals and students of gender relations and environmental management.' - Choice '... the more flowing parts of this book read like Babette's feast.' - Patricia Hayes in Gender & History
