Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- NERICA, a new group of high-yielding and stress-tolerant upland rice varieties developed by the Africa Rice Center, is changing production strategies of many Ugandan households. This article contributes a better understanding of processes leading to NERICA-related household outcomes in Hoima District, Uganda, by examining patterns of intrahousehold production relations and their consequences for household members' individual wellbeing. Research presented here provides a timely illustration of the impact that the introduction of NERICA in Hoima District has had on gendered labor dynamics in grower households. Drawing on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, the analysis is grounded in the local context and the embodied and gendered subjectivities of smallholder women, men and children. Findings reveal that, while households that have adopted NERICA have become better off in economic terms, the extreme labor burden that NERICA demands in bird scaring and weeding affects women and children's wellbeing negatively by exacerbating their time poverty and energy expense. The article makes a case for more comprehensive assessments of agricultural intensification processes that involve diffusion of new production technology, arguing that such assessments should also contain an analysis of gendered labor dynamics within households.

Land-claims: racialized environmental struggles and emerging political subjectivities in Latin America

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since the European conquest of Latin America, mechanisms and justifications for unequal access to and control over natural resources have developed in tandem with racial ideologies and institutions. Conceiving race and racism as sociocultural systems that evolve historically with and through the organization of human-environment relations, this chapter considers cases in which racism supported the expropriation of land from subordinate populations for purposes of colonial profit or national/capital development together with recent cases in which resignified racial visions have been mobilized by non-dominant groups in struggles to “reclaim” land. Differential rights to and powers over land, and differential visions for land use, have been key in the construction of diverse racial identities, and in accompanying senses of entitlement, agency and political possibility.

Masculinidades en movimiento. Transformación territorial y sistemas de género.
- 2013
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This monograph builds a new approach to the interaction of gender systems with socioeconomic and environmental changes, and applies this approach in the analysis of regional trends in Latin America over the past 25 years, together with national and territorial analyses. The book’s main objectives are to advance a theoretical and methodological approach not found in other studies of socioeconomic and environmental change, and to describe undocumented aspects of change underway in rural Latin America. This project differs from existing books on gender in several ways. First, while most prioritize women and gender, and some focus on men and masculinities, this book considers both realms. Second, instead of concentrating on the activities and conditions of individual men and women, this book explores how these factors, together with gendered institutions and resources, interact and play out in territorial dynamics. And third, rather than trace unidirectional impacts of historical processes on gender roles and relations, this book pays serious attention to how gender systems condition, constrain or facilitate socioeconomic and environmental changes, influencing the shape they take and the impacts they make.

Sensations of Food: Growing for the Nation and Eating with the Hand in Bahia, Brazil
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Geographies of Race and Food: fields, Bodies, Markets. - 9781409469278
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Growing and eating food are cultural practices that simultaneously make physical bodies, shape landscapes, and produce racial (together with class/ethno/spatial) knowledge and identity. This chapter strives to complement the large body of work on race and racism in Brazil and elsewhere with an exploration of how some people in the Brazilian state of Bahia experience and communicate racialized identities in the acts of producing and consuming food. Insights from other Latin American contexts shed new light on Brazilian material that challenges us to think about experiences and interactions of identity that are not reducible to categories of race, class or geography, yet are shaped in powerful ways by the socio-economic systems and ideologies that we identify as race, class and social space.
