Environment has become a major factor in development, as part of a global awareness on the need to either change or sustain current trends. Balancing Rocks tackles the environment issues affecting Zimbabwe, their consequences and solutions. The book is the first empirical attempt to assess Zimbabwe's environmental linkages to development on a sectoral basis and with the intention of reviewing policy for the future. It is a useful tool for all those interested in a discussion that goes beyond narrow academic or political agendas, and understand that environment and development are fragile "balancing rocks".

År: 1987
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.
