Provides a crucial baseline for asking further gendered questions. More extensive case studies require a foundation to build on. Penvenne's pathbreaking book provides that foundation, both through the inclusion of women's narratives, songs, and broader cultural gendered practices in its analysis and through the powerful narratives revealing women workers' lives, dreams, and frustrations. Women, Migration and the Cashew Economy demonstrates the importance of these more eclectic research methods and the centrality of gender for understanding urban life in colonial Africa. AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW One of the most enjoyable books to read in the field of oral history. THE ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW A warm and generous narrative . [Penvenne's] methodology to uncover the details about female workers was to listen to them as "narrators," not merely "informants" . Through this method, women, their work, and their values take their rightful place with the androcentric and state-centric narratives that have thus far been normative. JOURNAL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY HISTORY With an epilogue addressing the devastation of Mozambique's cashew processing industry by war and World Bank policies after 1975, helpful glossary and maps, and a lively (and often urgent) narrative style, Women, Migration, and the Cashew Economy is a much-needed corrective to Mozambican labour history. It should also be welcomed as a valuable Lusophone contribution to the historiography of gender in colonial Africa, and as an engaging resource for undergraduate and graduate classes. THE JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORY Based on extensive interviews with former cashew workers, as well as wide-ranging research into the colonial archives, Penvenne's book fills a significant gap within the history of Mozambique while offering important correctives to some of African labor history's underexamined assumptions. The most important of these interventions is Penvenne's persuasive argument against the enduring focus on specific types of predominantly male labor. AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW This book is an important read for scholars interested in understanding the impact of women's labor in industrial and urbanization processes in Mozambique in particular and southern Africa in general. It is a must read for those interested in exploring the use of African women's narratives, conversations, and songs as central to the history of southern Africa.

IntroductionA Century of Contestation around CashewsTarana: History from the Factory FloorMigration: Pathways from Poverty to TaranaLives around Livelihoods: "Children Are Not Like Chickens"African Urban Families in the Late Colonial Era: AgencyConclusion: Gendered Perspectives on Work, Households and AuthorityEpilogue: Mozambique's Cashew Economy, 1975 to 2014
Synopsis
Between the late 1940s and independence in 1975, rural Mozambican women migrated to the capital, Lourenco Marques, to find employment in the cashew shelling industry. This book tells the labour and social history of what became Mozambique's most important late colonial era industry through the oral history and songs of three generations of the workforce. In the 1950s Jiva Jamal Tharani recruited a largely female labour force and inaugurated industrial cashew shelling in the Chamanculo neighbourhood. Seasonal cashew brews had long been an essential component of the region's household, gift and informal economies, but by the 1970s cashew exports comprised the largest share of the colony's foreign exchange earnings. This book demonstrates that Mozambique's cashew economy depended fundamentally on women's work and should be understood as "whole cloth." Drawing on over 100 interviews, the rich narratives convey layered histories: the rural crises that triggered the flight of women, their lives as factory workers, widespread payment and wage fraud, the formation of innovative urban families, and the health costs that all African families paid for municipal neglect of their neighbourhoods. Jeanne Marie Penvenne is Associate Professor in History, Core faculty in International Relations and Africana Studies at Tufts University. She is the author of the Herskovits shortlisted African Workers and Colonial Racism (James Currey/Heinemann, 1995), Analyses the lives and livelihoods of the female cashew shellers in Mozambique's capital in the colonial era, during which the industry grew to be a major export, and relates how the women played a fundamental, but previously underappreciated, role in the colony's economy., JOINT RUNNER-UP FOR THE 2017 AIDOO-SNYDER BOOK PRIZEBetween the late 1940s and independence in 1975, rural Mozambican women migrated to the capital, Loureno Marques, to find employment in the cashew shelling industry.
