Beyond “Death Do Us Part”
In colonial Hispanic America, widows and widowers were in an unfavorable position if their spouse died without a will, only inheriting from them if the deceased left no blood relatives to the 10th degree of kinship. This article examines the extent to which the intestate position of the surviving spouse improved in the new civil codes of the sixteen republics, and how their approaches were influenced by the circulation of ideas. It finds that in …
Identidad de las mujeres casadas
It is not well known that women’s use of the preposition “de” [belonging to] before their husbands’ last names was one of the socio-cultural changes associated with the Republican period in Colombia. Primary data shows that during the colonial period women kept their paternal and maternal last names after marriage. This article offers a historical overview of the norms and social practices regarding married women’s last names and an analysis of t…
A Gendered Analysis of Individual-Level Asset Poverty in Ecuador
This study uses individual-level wealth data to explore the gender dimensions of asset poverty among the principal adults in Ecuadorean households, the first such study in a developing country. The study departs from conventional practice by analyzing not only sole heads but also partnered men and women heads and show systematic differences by gender, marital status, and household type. Among both sole and partnered heads, women are more likely t…
Consensual Unions, Property Rights, and Patrimonial Violence against Women in Latin America
Consensual unions in Latin America are becoming more common than marriages. We analyze the evolution of the laws recognizing consensual unions as well as those proscribing domestic violence, including patrimonial violence, for nineteen countries. While the formal property rights of married women and those in consensual unions are now similar, we show that the latter are in a more precarious position, experiencing higher incidences of intimate par…
Gendered Paths to Asset Accumulation? Markets, Savings, and Credit in Developing Countries
An extensive literature shows how property inheritance is biased against women in many developing countries, yet relatively little attention has been given to gender bias in other means of acquiring physical assets, such as the market. Using individual-level data from Ecuador, Ghana, and Karnataka, India, this study analyzes modes of acquisition and financing of housing, agricultural land, other real estate, and businesses. The findings show that…
America's Forgotten Colony
While scholars of Cuba are undoubtedly familiar with the American colonization of the Isle of Pines in the early decades of the twentieth century, this experience of territorial expansionism may surprise students of imperialism. The Isle of Pines, located off Cuba's southwestern coast, saw the largest concentration of American colonists in Cuba, who flocked to the isle to purchase land in the wake of the US occupation in 1898 and the Platt Amendm…

Do men and women estimate property values differently
Who borrows to accumulate assets? Class, gender and indebtedness in Ecuador’s credit market
This article examines the propositions that wealth inequality supports credit market segmentation and that the financial system may reproduce economic inequality. Specifically, we discuss how the sources of credit and the purposes of borrowing may help perpetuate inequality. In Ecuador, the asset-poor are more likely than the asset-rich to borrow from the informal sector for expense purposes and to have higher debt-to-net-wealth ratios. We also i…
Assets and shocks
Drawing upon household surveys in Ecuador, Ghana and Karnataka, India, we analyse the relationship between assets and shocks, distinguishing between asset loss as the shock, and the use of assets as a coping strategy. A greater proportion of households experienced a direct loss of assets due to shocks than as a coping response. In Karnataka, but not in Ghana or Ecuador, women’s assets are more likely to be sold than men’s. Asset ownership and the…
Objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável, igualdade de gênero e a distribuição de terra na América Latina
Dentre os avanços contidos na Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, está o fato de que o objetivo de alcançar a igualdade de gênero e empoderar mulheres tem nove metas específicas. Essas têm por foco muitas das causas básicas da desigualdade de gênero, incluindo o acesso desigual das mulheres a recursos econômicos. O foco deste artigo é, especificamente, o acesso desigual das mulheres à terra e o conjunto de indicadores propostos para m…
Decomposing the Gender Wealth Gap in Ecuador
Women's land rights, rural social movements, and the state in the 21st-century Latin American agrarian reforms
This paper addresses the disjuncture between women's formal land rights and their attaining these in practice, examining the four agrarian reforms carried out by progressive governments after 2000 in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. It finds that while all four strengthened women's formal land rights, only the reforms in Bolivia and Brazil resulted in a significant share and number of female beneficiaries. In both countries, strong nation…
Asset Accumulation through International Migration
This study considers whether there are gender differences in the ability of international migrants as well as remittance managers in households of origin to channel remittances to physical and financial asset accumulation. Drawing on a national-level survey of household assets for Ecuador, we show that while only a small share of male or female migrants are able to channel their remittances to asset accumulation, women are as likely to do so as m…

Rebel Lands of Cuba
This book is a welcome addition to scholarship on rural Cuba. It tackles a question that has not been explored in sufficient depth: regional variations in peasant support for the Cuban Revolution and the agrarian reforms of the early 1960s. Although the two regions studied constituted the country's main coffee-producing areas and shared other similarities, they could not have differed more in the aftermath of the revolution. The Sierra Maestra an…
Women's Wealth and Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) by men against their partners is one of the most glaring indicators of women's lack of empowerment. Drawing upon the 2010 Ecuador Household Asset Survey (EAFF) and the 2010 Ghana Household Asset Survey (GHAS), nationally representative surveys for Ecuador and Ghana, respectively, this study investigates the relationship between women's ownership of assets and physical and emotional abuse by spouses against currentl…
Patrimonial Violence
Patrimonial violence, defined minimally as the violation of women's property rights, is increasingly recognized as a form of gender violence, along with physical, psychological, and sexual violence. Research in Ecuador on the extent to which women are aware of their property rights and the situations in which patrimonial violence is most likely to occur shows that, while most women seem to be aware of certain fundamentals, there are many misconce…

Gender and International Migration
This contribution examines the connections between gender and international migration around three themes: globalization, national economic development, and governance. First, it discusses the connections between globalization and the multiplicity of processes that have contributed to international migration and its feminization, arguing that gender awareness is crucial to understanding these processes. Gender analysis makes visible the increasin…
Gender Inequality in Asset Ownership in Latin America
Most studies that incorporate a gender dimension into the study of poverty or other development outcomes focus on the sex of the household head. This article argues that a headship analysis gives only a partial view of gender inequality since it does not take into account the position of women within male-headed households. Drawing primarily on the Living Standard Measurement Studies for Latin America and the Caribbean, the authors present baseli…

The Gender Asset Gap
Is there a gender asset gap? This article examines the evidence available on the distribution of wealth by gender around the world and asks why we do not know more. One of the contributions of feminist economics has been to demonstrate that household and individual welfare are not necessarily the same. However, relatively little work has been done that disaggregates the ownership of assets within the household to determine how asset distribution …

What difference does gender make? Rethinking peasant studies
This article argues that gender analysis has challenged and enriched many of the standard assumptions and concepts utilized in the analysis of Third World peasantries. Drawing primarily on the literature regarding Latin America, the impact of gender analysis on seven assumptions and concepts of peasant studies is illustrated: the family farm as the basic unit of production; the undifferentiated return to family labor; peasant household strategies…
Demographic and social differentiation among Northern Peruvian peasants
In this paper, [the authors] apply the concepts of demographic and social differentiation to the analysis of inequality among rural households in the northern Peruvian department of Cajamarca. While [they] demonstrate that social rather than demographic differentation is the more important process in this area, [they] illustrate the complementarity of Chayanov's methodological analysis of the family life cycle with a Marxist class-theoretical fra…

The view from below
This article examines the changes taking place in Cuban agriculture at the local level as a result of the demise of the socialist trading bloc and Cuba's subsequent economic crisis. Based on fieldwork in three municipalities of Cuba, the authors describe new developments in each of the three main sectors of Cuban agriculture: state farms, production co-operatives and individual peasant producers. They conclude that the dominant trend of this peri…

Who Owns the Land? Gender and Land-Titling Programmes in Latin America
The main focus of state intervention in Latin American agriculture in the 1990s was on land-titling programs, designed to promote security of tenure and enliven land markets. A review of seven of these projects suggests that they were often designed without sufficient attention to civil codes and marital regimes that protect women's property rights. They often ignored that a household's endowment of land may consist of three forms of property: th…

Peasant Production, Proletarianization, and the Sexual Division of Labor in the Andes
Os direitos da mulher à terra e os movimentos sociais rurais na reforma agrária brasileira
Este artigo examina a evolução da reivindicação dos direitos da mulher à terra na reforma agrária brasileira sob o prisma dos três principais movimentos sociais rurais: o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), os sindicatos rurais e o movimento autônomo de mulheres rurais. O mérito maior por levantar a questão dos direitos da mulher à terra é das mulheres dentro dos sindicatos rurais. Os direitos formais das mulheres à terra foram co…
Women's Land Rights and Rural Social Movements in the Brazilian Agrarian Reform
This article examines the evolution of the demand for women's land rights in the Brazilian agrarian reform through the prism of the three main rural social movements: the landless movement, the rural unions and the autonomous rural women's movement. Most of the credit for raising the issue of women's land rights rests with women within the rural unions. That women's formal land rights were attained in the constitutional reform of 1988 was largely…

Changing Social Relations of Production and Peruvian Peasant Women's Work
Nevertheless it has been demonstrated convincingly that womens contribution toward social production is not a sufficient condition for the development of female status within peasant groupings (Sanday 1974; Michaelson and Goldschmidt 1971). Although the division of labor in the organization of production is an important variable for the analysis of womens socio-economic position it is not totally adequate for the task at hand. Rather it is essent…

Liberalism and Married Women's Property Rights in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
By the beginning of the twentieth century, married women’s property rights in Latin America had evolved along two distinct paths. All South American countries still maintained their colonial marital regime, with either partial (Hispanic America) or full (Brazil) community property. In contrast, Mexico and the five Central American republics had established the separation of property marital regime—with each spouse owning and controlling his or he…

Reforming Cuban Agriculture
This article focuses on the two major reforms undertaken in the Cuban agricultural sector during 1993 and 1994: the re-organization of the state farm sector into worker-managed production co-operatives and the opening of free agricultural markets for above-plan production. It is argued that the Cuban agricultural sector is now characterized by multiple forms of organization of production and land tenure or a 'mixed economy', and that the two refo…

Rural Women's Subsistence Production in the Capitalist Periphery
Rural women's subsistence production in the capitalist periph ery allows semi-proletarian male workers to sell their labor power to capitalist units of production for less than a subsistence familial wage. Thus, women's contribution toward the maintenance and reproduction of labor power within the rural labor reserve permits the non-capitalist mode of production to absorb the costs of production and reproduction of labor power. The division of la…

The Differentiation of the Peasantry and Family Structure
Estudio de la mujer rural y el desarrollo del capitalismo en el agro colombiano
El objetivo de este ensayo es presentar una orientación para el estudio del trabajo de la mujer rural, que mediante el análisis histórico y a partir de ciertas categorías permita conocer y entender la realidad actual. El trabajo se desarrollará en el caso concreto del estudio de la mujer rural colombiana, para lo cual se considera la división del trabajo por sexo y el desarrollo del capitalismo en la agricultura
A Conceptual Framework for the Empirical Analysis of Peasants
To assist in the design and analysis of the many empirical studies currently conducted on peasants and their changing status in third world countries, a conceptual framework is presented and illustrated with data from Cajamarca in Peru. The framework identifies the key variables to be measured and processes to be analyzed at three levels: the organization of the peasant household in terms of production, circulation, and reproduction; the mechanis…
Measuring Rural Women's Work and Class Position
On the basis of experience gained in researching the economic roles of rural women in a national level study in Colombia and in a regional level study in Peru, some of the methodological problems of measuring rural women's economic participation by sample survey are considered. The specific objective of the sample surveys was to quantify the existing sexual division of labor among the peasant population. The rural household was the unit of analys…

The Peasantry and the Development of Sandinista Agrarian Policy, 1979-1984
Immediately after the Sandinista victory of July 1979, the Nicaraguan agrarian reform began with the expropriation of Somoza's agricultural estates and their conversion into state farms. Four years later, the land expropriated under the 1981 Agrarian Reform Law was being distributed to peasant production cooperatives and increasingly to individual peasant farmers. This article will analyze this shift in Sandinista agrarian policy and attempt to e…

Household and Class Relations
Household and Class Relations offers an adept and multifaceted look at modern peasant family relation- ships. With the perspectives of an anthropologist and sociologist as well as those of an economist, Deere brings a fresh approach to the classic question: how do households continue to exist as units of production and reproduction in the face of their growing proletarianization and impoverishment? She draws upon rich life histories as well as ar…

Cuba's Struggle for Self-Sufficiency
The demise of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), the Soviet-bloc trade organization, has presented Cuba with a challenge almost as great as the trade embargo imposed by the United States in 1960. Cuba's initial reaction to the embargo was to initiate a program of food self-sufficiency and to attempt to reduce its dependency on sugar exports. As Cuba declared its socialist path and became integrated into COMECON trade on the bas…
