Somalia är ett av de få afrikanska länder där alla talar samma språk. Över hälften av befolkningen är nomader och kulturen kretsar kring kamelen, det viktigaste tamdjuret. Trots den enhetliga befolkningen rasar ett blodigt inbördeskrig sedan president Barre störtades i början av 1991. Denna bok ger en levande skildring av landet, nomadernas liv och samspel med naturen.

Ämnesord: Kwere, Msoga, Tanzania, East Africa, Women, Rural women, Reproduction, Anthropology, Social and cultural anthropology, Social anthropology/ethnography, Socialantrolopologi/etnografi
In whose interest is it to produce children? What is the linkage between reproductive relations and the position of women in society? Is it possible to have a universal theory to deal with the women's question in any historical situation? These and other issues are examined in the study written by Ulla Vuorela who has done extensive fieldwork in a Tanzanian village. Her courageous theory and its pertinent application in a village study open the reader's eyes to new insights into the women's question in the wider context of development issues. In this book, traditions are linked with essential problems of our time, with the overall economic crisis and its effect on women and men and the problems of human reproduction.

Författarna beskriver det komplicerade och tålamodskrävande arbetet som krävs för att utveckla institutioner, men understryker också de stora möjligheter som öppnar sig om det sker på mottagarens villkor.
