Summary:

This volume reports on ongoing original research into the changing situations which rural African women are experiencing in relation to land rights. Undertaken with an explicitly political intention, its authors came together in order to link research and analysis with advocacy and action--the purpose being to contribute toward equalizing gender relations in Africa and promoting the ability of African women to achieve a greater measure of economic independence as well as other human rights.
