| Abstract | Gender, land use and environmental management in developing countries intersect in a complex setting in which culture, economics and politics interfere. This collective volume - the product of a seminar organized in Amsterdam in May 1995 - unravels these complexities. The introductory chapter (gender, land use and environmental management: analysing trends and diversity) was written by Mirjam de Bruijn, Ineke van Halsema and Heleen van den Hombergh. Five of the ten following chapters are on Africa: Diny van Elst (the changing use of the floodplain environment by Mousgoum women, Cameroon); Adri van den Berg (Giziga women farmers, land security and sustainability, Cameroon); Basilida Anyona Mutoro (gender aspects in small-scale farming in Vihiga District, Kenya); Adri Zuiderwijk and Juliette Schaafsma (male out-migration, changing women's roles and consequences for environmental management among the Mafa, Cameroon); and Gerti Hesseling (Sahelian women as partners in contracts on the management of natural resources) |
