Land tenure, gender, and globalisation :

Tsikata, Dzodzi (ed)

Land tenure, gender, and globalisation : research and analysis from Africa, Asia, and Latin America / Dzodzi Tsikata and Pamela Golah - New Delhi : Zubaan, 2010 - xii, 299p. 22cm.

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.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, land and globalisation.
