Land Tenure, Gender and Globalisation: Research and Analysis from Africa, Asia and Latin AmericaDzodzi Tsikata and Pamela Golah (eds) 312 pp pbk USD 8 ISBN 9878189884727 All rights available  Add To Cart
Drawing from field research in Cameroon, Ghana, Viet Nam and the Amazon forests of South America, this book explores the relationship between gender and land, revealing the workings of global capital and of people's responses to it. A central theme is the people's reseitance to global forces, frequently through an insistence on the uniqueness of their livelihoods. The book addresses a gap in the literature on land tenure and gender in developing countries. It raises new questions about the process of globalisation, particularly about who the actors are (local people, the state, NGOs, multinational companies) and the shifting relations among them. The book also challenges the very concepts of gender, landa and globalisation. Give your review [Top] |
