| Abstract | This book deals with beer drinking and cooperative agricultural labour among Xhosa-speaking people in South Africa's Transkei region. Based on fieldwork carried out with intervals between 1976 and 1998 in Shixini, an Administrative Area in Willowvale/Gatyana district in the Eastern Cape, it analyses the underlying social, moral and religious principles on which labour and beer drinking are based and which connect them, and the historical and sociopolitical contexts in which this developed.
