“At last, Piet Konings has opportune the academic and development circles of students, teachers, researchers, policy makers and field practitioners in Cameroon and elsewhere of the effect of macroeconomic policy on the labour force and livelihoods of plantation workers. A very important feature of the book is the gender dimension of the interrogation and analysis. Combined with its lucidity, the book will no doubt serve as a useful textbook in a variety of disciplines.”
