Explore the complex nexus of gender and power in African societies through this seminal ethnographic study. Delving into the Cameroon Grassfields, it meticulously examines how women’s control over agricultural production and their labor profoundly influences social hierarchies, male status, and state formation from the 19th century onwards. Based on a decade of fieldwork, the book illuminates negotiations over economic, ritual, and administrative power, questioning whether women’s resistance to traditional marriage truly shifts the balance. An indispensable resource for scholars, students of sociology, anthropology, and gender studies in India seeking deep insights into cultural dynamics and societal change.
