This collection of cutting-edge articles focuses on recent shifts
in thinking about land rights, particularly as they relate to
women. Leading feminist scholars in the field provide searching
treatment of the long-neglected subject of gender and access to
land.
The articles are introduced and contextualized by Shahra Razavi.
She weaves together the findings and arguments of contributions
which look at the implications of the current neoliberal policy
agenda for a number of specific regions. Topics covered range from
policy discussions about women's land rights in sub-Saharan Africa
to land tenure reforms and women's interests in Tanzania; and from
new prospects with respect to gender and land rights in India, to
agrarian reform to rural social movements and women's land rights
in Brazil.
This is a timely collection, in which careful empirical analysis
is presented with analytical power and clarity. The papers are
provocative, refreshingly original and richly informative.
