| Description: | Focusing on conjugal production and reproduction in colonial Asante, the authors seek to understand how broader social and economic forces cash cropping, trade, monetization of the economy, British rule, and Christian missions recast the terms of domestic struggle and how ordinary men and women negotiated an ever shifting landscape. By centering their analysis on Asante women, Allman and Tashjian provide building blocks for constructing a broader social history of a society whose past has largely been understood in terms of the state, political evolution, trade, and the careers of political elites. Based primarily on the recollections of Asante men and women born during the years from 1900 to 1925, I Will Not Eat Stone' reconstructs and preserves for future generations the resiliency and tenacity of a generation of Asante women and their struggles to assert and defend economic autonomy. Jean Allman is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis;Victoria Tashjian is an Associate Professor in the Department of History, St Norbert College, Wisconsin |
