Piya Chatterjee

A Time for Tea

Women, Labor, and Post/Colonial Politics on an Indian Plantation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is a finely layered, theoretically astute and informed cultural and historical account of a tea plantation in India. The ethnography is not content to address localized politics and culture; its importance lies in the way in which it reveals the global and political dimensions of local practices of gendered labor."--Inderpal Grewal, author of "Home and Harem: Nation, Gender, Empire, and the Cultures of Travel"
