Provides an examination of the production, consumption, and circulation of tea. This book reveals how the female tea-pluckers seen in advertisements came to symbolise the heart of colonialism in India. It exposes how this image has distracted from working conditions, low wages, and coercive labour practices enforced by the patronage system.
