Crisis and Neoliberal Reforms in Africa. Civil Society and Agro-Industry in Anglophone Cameroon's Plantation Economy

More about the book

The book examines the impact of the economic and financial crisis on the plantation economy in the Anglophone region of Cameroon since the 1980s. It analyzes neoliberal reforms, such as privatization and reduced state intervention, and their effects on civil-society groups, including regional elites and plantation workers. Through extensive research, the author highlights the active resistance and alternative strategies these groups have employed in response to the crisis, challenging existing theories on plantation production and capital accumulation.
