Download or read book Gender and Forests written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book brings together the work of gender and forestry specialists from various backgrounds and fields of research and action to analyse global gender conditions as related to forests. Using a variety of methods and approaches, they build on a spectrum of theoretical perspectives to bring depth and breadth to the relevant issues and address timely and under-studied themes. Focusing particularly on tropical forests, the book presents both local case studies and global comparative studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the US and Europe. The studies range from personal histories of elderly American women’s attitudes toward conservation, to a combined qualitative / quantitative international comparative study on REDD+, to a longitudinal examination of oil palm and gender roles over time in Kalimantan. Issues are examined across scales, from the household to the nation state and the global arena; and reach back to the past to inform present and future considerations. The collection will be of relevance to academics, researchers, policy makers and advocates with different levels of familiarity with gender issues in the field of forestry.

With the help of well-documented case studies they describe the ways in which women can organize to meet environmental, social and economic challenges. Originally published in 1988
Download or read book Women and Wasteland Development written by Andréa M Singh and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1993 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book assumes significance because it takes stock of changes, progress, issues, policy implications and experiences of the agencies involved in the wasteland development programmes.... This book gives practical solutions to issues of changes in policies, laws and administration based on various experiences.... This book is a useful source of information for all those involved in such programmes and policies. --Deccan Herald "This volume represents a significant landmark in the continued efforts to enhance rural poor women's access to land and other productive resources, for better livelihoods and improved status. . . . It is a landmark from the point of view of both practitioners and researchers, as it brings together an array of practical experiences in the field of organizing women for improved access and greater bargaining power. Along with this, it deals with related issues and problems. . . . The book is a valuable addition to the literature on women's poverty and landlessness, their struggle to strengthen their rights and status, thus providing an agenda for action by policymakers, NGOs, and women's groups, as well as international agencies." --Seminar What role do women play in the development of wasteland areas and regions? How do caste, class, and tribal affiliation affect women's participation in development of wasteland areas? This volume brings together policy-makers, researches, and village women to discuss and analyze wasteland development primarily from the perspective of the women themselves, and not merely from the point of environmental regeneration. Contributors first address the evolution of wasteland development in India in general, offering a unique framework for understanding the place of women within it. They then document the grassroots experience of village women in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Throughout, contributors examine legal implications of women gaining access to land-based resources and review policy issues that will ensure women's continued participation in wasteland development. "Although the data collected are confined to India, they help reach conclusions valid for trans-border countries in common ecological belts." -The Statesman "It is rich in empirical material, and adds considerably to the existing evidence of the interrelationship between poverty, natural resources and gender. . . . The editors must be congratulated for selecting paper of almost uniform quality, and covering such comprehensive range of issues. . . . The most important contribution of this book . . . is the extensive evidence it offers for a still nascent thesis in the field of women's empowerment." -The Book Review

Download or read book Women the Environment and Sustainable Development written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is a widespread perception that the development process is in a state of multiple crisis. While the notion of sustainable development is supposed to address adequately its environmental dimensions, there is still no agreed framework relating women to this new perspective. This book is an attempt to present and disentangle the various positions put forward by major actors and to clarify the political and theoretical issues that are at stake in the debates on women, the environment and sustainable development. Among the current critiques of the western model of development which the authors review are the feminist analysis of Science itself and the power relations inherent in the production of knowledge; Women, Environment and Development (WED); Alternative Development; Environmental Reformism; and Deep Ecology, Social Ecology and Ecofeminism. In traversing this important landscape of ideas, they show how they criticise the dominant developmental model at the various levels of epistemology, theory and policy. The authors also go further and put forward their own ideas as to the basic elements they consider necessary in constructing a paradigmatic shift -- emphasising such values as holism, mutuality, justice, autonomy, self-reliance, sustainability and peace. This unique work is a signally useful contribution to clarifying thinking on a topic with immense implications for all women."--Publisher's description.
