Full Description


The author proposes that wage labor became gendered as male because of transformations in the labor process as well as the concrete goals and values of individual Nigerian men and women, which were often influenced by indigenous and imported ideas about modernization. The book provides a view of modernization from a Nigerian, working-class perspective and points to the tensions and engagement between the practical strategies and ideological assumptions of various colonial administrators and African workers. Part labor history, part social history, part history of ideology, and part demographic history, this is one of those rare books that transcend the traditional academic categories that denote disciplinary boundaries.
