In this, the first comprehensive study of the Tonga people in Zimbabwe, Pamela Reynolds focuses on children's work in a subsistence agricultural system, assessing how much work they do, the value of their work to their families and how it both limits their opportunities and fosters their personal growth and knowledge.
