Description
This is the first major study of gender and property in South Asia. In a pioneering and comprehensive analysis Bina Agarwal argues that the single most important economic factor affecting women's situation is the gender gap in command over property. In rural South Asia, the most significant form of property is arable land, a critical determinant of economic well-being, social status, and empowerment. But few women own land; fewer control it. Drawing on a vast range of interdisciplinary sources and her own field research, and tracing regional variations across five countries, the author investigates the complex barriers to women's land ownership and control, and how they might be overcome. The book makes significant and original contributions to theory and policy concerning land reforms, 'bargaining' and gender relations, women's status, and the nature of resistance. Table of Contents Preface Land rights for women: making the case Conceptualizing gender relations Customary rights and associated practices Erosion and disinheritance: traditionally matrilineal and bilateral communities today Contemporary law: contestation and content Whose share? Who claims? The gap between law and practice Whose land? Who commands? The gap between ownership and control Tracing cross-regional diversities Struggles over resources, struggles over meanings The long march ahead.
