Even in a realm that would seem to be as far removed from issues of
gender as natural resource management, gender bias is pernicious
and persistent, especially in India. "Genderscapes" looks at the
reasons for this bias from a number of angles, including the
socialization of attitudes, the shaping of community ideologies,
and the construction of disciplines and research methodologies.
Sumi Krishna puts forward the novel concept of "genderscapes" to
reflect the totality of women's life worlds, and she builds her use
of the concept on a group of rich case studies, including the
caring practices of forest-dwellers, women's knowledge of
biodiversity, and their widespread responsibility for farming and
food production. Women's economic needs cannot be separated from
their sociopolitical interests, Krishna shows--and only by looking
at them as a whole can we solve the problem of discrimination.
