| Sumario: | Women and Development in Africa explores gender issues in the context of Africa's generally poor economic performance. Kevane begins with a broad discussion of the sources of underdevelopment in Africa and the role of gender in economic transactions. He then presents solid evidence on the gendered realities of land rights, the control of labor, bargaining power within households, the marriage market (including a discussion of who "owns" women), and families. The final section of the book reviews specific development programs aimed at women and emphasizes the necessity of gender-sensitive structural changes to promote equitable and rapid development. Illustrative case studies are included throughout. |
