Labour Mobilization and Exploitation in Colonial Zimbabwe - The Case of Tea Labour

This works examines how labour was raised and exploited in colonial Zimbabwe's tea plantations. It shows the centrality of labour to the system and how difficult it was to raise it.

Nevertheless, Africans as people on the receiving end devised means and ways of outdoing the system. Read on.
