Rezensionen
'This volume illustrates the breadth and depth of engaged scholarship and critical practice in gender, sustainable development and livelihoods. It carries an urgent and timely message given the converging food, energy and climate change crises and the rising voices of warning, protest and alternative visions from women and gender activists throughout the world. I highly recommend it to all those engaged in understanding the complexity and multifaceted nature of development, including global and local markets, as well as cultural negotiations of political, economic and environmental change.' - Dianne Rocheleau Professor of Geography, Clark University, USA
"Women Reclaiming Sustainable Livelihoods is a timely, well-edited collection of essays that explores women's roles in, and relationship to, the sustainable development ne´e environmental movement . . . It unpacks the mainstream assumptions that negatively influence what Harcourt and the authors of the collection argue are truly sustainable approaches to women's and men's livelihoods." - Signs
