Description
"A Workman Is Worthy of His Meat: Food and Colonialism in the Gabon" explores the complex interplay between food, labor, and colonialism in Gabon, a French colony in Central Africa. The book examines how colonial authorities manipulated food production and distribution to control the local population and labor force, using food scarcity as a tool of oppression and exploitation. It highlights the experiences of African workers who faced poor nutrition, food insecurity, and harsh conditions while toiling on colonial plantations, logging camps, and infrastructure projects. The author, Jeremy Rich, also discusses how Gabonese people resisted these colonial impositions by maintaining traditional food practices and cultivating alternative food networks. Through this lens, the book provides a critical perspective on how colonial policies reshaped Gabon's social, economic, and cultural landscapes, emphasizing the role of food as both a means of colonial power and a site of resistance.
