The paper investigates some of the implications for a group of Zambian hoe cultivators of being locked into an agricultural system not geared to production for the market and at the same time having a growing independence on a range of industrially produced goods obtained only through some form of economic exchange with the wider Zambian economy. The paper focuses particulary on the women concerned. The research was carried out between 1979 and 1981 in a small Kaonde community. (DÜI-Hns)

The area of Mukunashi in Zambia is one where capitalist production relations have been but minimally introduced, but where patterns of exchange have increasingly taken a monetary form. Crehan is concerned to investigate the implications of such economic changes as have occurred for the position and role of women. In common with similar situations elsewhere, she finds that new capitalist farming units when introduced are invariably run by men who in turn appropriate any surplus accruing. Women continue to be primarily responsible for supplying family food requirements, and the burden of 'female' tasks as regards both time and energy prevents them moving into cash generating activities, save in the case of beer brewing. The latter is an exception largely because the operations it involves are capable of being accommodated into women's normal routine. But while women are able to earn some cash through their efforts, it is hardly sufficient to give them any economic independence.
