Opis

This text is concerned with the nature of the relationship between gender, ethnicity and poverty in the context of the external and internal dynamics of the household in Guyana. Using detailed data collected from male and female respondents in three separate locations, two urban and one rural, and across two major ethnic groups, Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese, the authors discuss the links between gender and race, exploring development issues from a feminist perspective.
