Abstract

It is pretty well agreed by all writers that plantations are somehow ‘different’ — different that is from both smallholdings and ordinary enterprises organised along capitalist lines. The difference would appear to lie in the way in which plantations have acquired their land and labour cheap. (Gordon, 1977: 192–193)
