The gender of dependency theory: Women as workers, from neocolonialism in West Africa to the implosion of contemporary capitalism
Samir Amin’s large body of work affords an opportunity to trace the ways in which he analysed class and gender in the workings of neocolonialism in the aftermath of independence in West Africa and globalisation after the end of the Cold War. Using two key texts, Neo-colonialism in West Africa (1973) and The implosion of contemporary capitalism (2013), this paper traces the way women, gender and dependency theory in Amin’s theoretical framework op…
Wrestlemania: The Gender Factor in the 2016 Election
Part of the reason Hillary Clinton's loss in the Electoral College was such a surprise was that the two major obstacles faced by female candidates and politicians appeared to have been cleared by Clinton. The first is what I call "barriers to entry." The research has long suggested (although some of it is now being challenged) that women cannot raise money as effectively as men, they are less likely to be asked to run for a vacant seat, they are …
Women and Gender Equity in Development Theory and Practice: Institutions, Resources, and Mobilization
Jaquette, Jane S. and Gale Summerfield, eds. (2006), Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 376 pp., $24.95, ISBN 978‐0822336983. “We have to begin where we are” when it comes to gender and development
Imagining Terror in an Era of Globalization: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Construction of Terrorism after 9/11
Many analyses of U.S. foreign policy after September 11 have rested upon readings of the U.S. as a traditional imperialist power. In so doing, the constructions of Al Qaeda as a decentralized corporation and a virtual network are often ignored. Corporate and network constructions place less stress on conventional threats to the nation-state and instead portray terrorism in distinctively post-Fordist terms. This in turn helps explain the short-liv…
I Had Left One America and Come Home to Another One”: First‐Person Accounts of Captivity During the Iranian Hostage Crisis
Bound for Glory: The Hostage Crisis as Captivity Narrative in Iran
Eschewing conventional analyses of foreign policymaking during the Iranian hostage crisis, this paper examines how media representations of the crisis (November 1979–January 1981) contained important elements of classic American captivity narratives. Five themes are culled from the secondary literature on captivity stories and are used as categories in a content analysis of mass circulation media such as People Magazine and Time as well as more e…
A Field of One's Own: Gender and Land Rights in South Asia
Gender and Development: Rethinking Modernization and Dependency Theory
Scott's provocative critique of development theory and practice demonstrates that many prevailing ideas about development, dependency, capitalism, and socialism are anchored in social constructions of gender differences
United States
Sociology
Class, State, and Popular Organizations in Mozambique and Nicaragua
Much of the literature on revolutions in the periphery is concerned with either the domestic obstacles to the realization of socialism or the destabilization tactics employed by external actors against the new revolutionary governments. For example, Munslow (1986: 11-23) and Fagen, Deere, and Coraggio (1986: 15-20) point to a weak economy, a lack of political organization and consciousness among the peasantry and working class, and domestic oppos…

Socialism and the 'Soft State' in Africa: An Analysis of Angola and Mozambique
The overthrow of Haile Selassie in Ethiopia in 1974, and the independence of Angola and Mozambique in 1975, as well as Zimbabwe in 1980, seem to have strengthened the case for classifying African régimes on the basis of their ideology.In a collection of mainly country-studies of socialism in sub-Saharan Africa edited by Carl Rosberg and Thomas Callaghy in 1978, various explanations were advanced about why the so-called 'first wave' of radicals fa…
