Download or read book The Two Headed Household written by Sarah Hamilton and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Two-Headed Household is an ethnographic account of gender relations and intrahousehold decisionmaking as well as a policy-oriented study of gender and development in the indigenous Andean community of Chanchalo, Ecuador. Hamilton's main argument is that the households in these farming communities are "two-headed." Men and women participate equally in agricultural production and management, in household decisionmaking, and share in the reproductive tasks of child care, food preparation, and other chores. Based on qualitative fieldwork and regional household survey data, this book investigates the effect on women's lives of gender bias in agricultural development programs and labor and commodities markets. Despite household economic reliance on these programs and markets, there is extraordinary evidence of social and economic gender equality. Traditional Andean kinship structures enable women and men to enter marriage as materially equal partners. As seen in case studies of five women and their families, the author continually encounters joint decisionmaking and shared household and agricultural responsibilities. In fact, it often seems that women have the final say in many decisions. There is the belief that a dynamic balance of power between male and female heads provides an impetus toward mutually desired economic and social goals. Despite the strong influence of the patriarchal power of the hacienda system, Andean gender ideology accords women and men equal measures of physical, mental, and emotional fortitude. The belief that maintaining traditional forms of economic collaboration helped them survive on the hacienda was reinforced under the economic and political domination of the patriarchal systems of the landed elite, church, and state. Today, these people are proud of their strong women, strong families, and community solidarity which they believe distinguishes them from Ecuadorean and American societies. Hamilton suggests that women in developing countries should not be viewed as simply, or even inevitably, victims of gender-biased structural or cultural institutions. They may resist male bias, perhaps even with the support of local-level institutions. The Two-Headed Household demonstrates that analysis of gender relations should focus on forms of cooperation among women and men, as well as on forms of conflict, and will be of interest to scholars and students in anthropology, gender and development, and Latin American Studies.

Download or read book The Age of Low Tech written by Bihouix, Philippe and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People often believe that we can overcome the profound environmental and climate crises we face by smart systems, green innovations and more recycling. However, the quest for complex technological solutions, which rely on increasingly exotic and scarce materials, makes this unlikely. A best-seller in France, this English language edition introduces readers to an alternative perspective on how we should be marshalling our resources to preserve the planet and secure our future. Bihouix skilfully goes against the grain to argue that ‘high’ technology will not solve global problems and envisages a different approach to build a more resilient and sustainable society.

Download or read book Feeding a Divided America written by Gilles Stockton and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Feeding a Divided America, third-generation Montana rancher and international agriculture development specialist Gilles Stockton explores the causes of what he refers to as the “rural-urban divide” and how this widening chasm between rural America and urban centers threatens our democracy. Indeed, it determines the structure of our society, including the physical and political landscapes in which we live. Stockton shows how big banks, international food conglomerates, urban expectations, and US farm policy have all furthered the demise of small towns across America. These essays provide a clear portrait of national food issues surrounding market competition, US trade policy, wildlife controversies, climate change, supply-chain disruptions, and US farm policy, topics that transcend all geopolitical boundaries. Stockton stands firm with American farmers and ranchers, offering potential remedies to these issues in the face of concerns over livelihood, the future of American food systems, and the future of our planet. Stockton’s essays are timely, and they challenge American urbanites and rural folk alike to find ways for all of us to coexist in a changing environment. Whether we eat may depend on it.
