Modern” farming and the transformation of livelihoods in rural Tanzania
Farmers as experts: Interpreting the “hidden” messages of participatory video across African contexts
Recent scholarship has contributed important insights into the political dynamics inherent in the process of making and showing participatory videos. As a research method and an instrument for social change, participatory video has both potential and limitations for overturning the power dynamics embedded within research and in development processes. This paper focuses on experiences of incorporating participatory video in land management project…
Rethinking sustainable land management planning: Understanding the social and economic drivers of farmer decision-making in Africa
Challenges and lessons learnt from a sanitation project in rural Bolivia
The University of Arizona chapter of Engineers Without Borders USA has faced multiple challenges involving community participation in rural development, in the Andean community of Marquirivi, Bolivia, both in rural design and in community participation. Despite successful construction of a shower house in 2014, the EWB-USA UA team experience with community participation revealed the numerous complexities involved in engaging successfully with com…

An analysis of power dynamics within innovation platforms for natural resource management
Innovation systems thinking is increasingly influencing approaches to sustainable agricultural development in developing world contexts. This represents a shift away from technology transfer towards recognition that agricultural change entails complex interactions among multiple actors and a range of technical, social and institutional factors. One option for practically applying innovation systems thinking involves the establishment of innovatio…

Gleaner, fisher, trader, processor: Understanding gendered employment in fisheries and aquaculture
Most research on gender difference or inequities in capture fisheries and aquaculture in Africa and the Asia‐Pacific focuses on the gender division of labour. Emerging research on globalization, market changes, poverty and trends in gendered employment within this sector reveals the need to move beyond this narrow perspective. If gleaning and post‐harvesting activities were enumerated, the fisheries and aquaculture sector might well turn out to b…
Building democracy from below: A case from rural Tanzania
Focusing on events in a rural village in Tanzania during 2001-02, this paper examines the changing nature of state/society relations in Tanzania. Drawing on experience from previous years of fieldwork in the early 1990s, it becomes apparent that villagers are beginning to change the way they engage with the state. These new approaches are framed in part by the discourse of democracy, with which Tanzanians have become familiar since the economic a…
Revisiting the Glass Escalator: The Case of Gender Segregation in a Female Dominated Occupation
Using data from the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN) 1977–2000, we examine sex segregation in a paradigmatic female-dominated occupation—nursing. We find that contrary to the vertical pattern of occupational stratification implied by the “glass escalator,” men are not disproportionately represented in administrative posts. Instead, we find a pervasive pattern of horizontal sex segregation, whereby men and women are disproportio…
A Vocabulary of Motives: Understanding How Parents Define Quality Time
Although discussions of parenting refer to quality time, parents' views of quality time have not been explored. Using the Sloan 500 Family Study, this article examines how 220 parents from 110 dual-parent families define the spending quality time with their families and finds 3 distinct views: Structured-planning parents saw it as planned family activities, child-centered parents emphasized heart-to-heart talks with their children, and time-inten…

Mothers on the March: Iraqw Women Negotiating the Public Sphere in Tanzania

It focuses on the role of mothers in gender identity and how this role gives women the moral authority to act collectively. It shows how gender roles have been redefined in the colonial and postcolonial era. In particular it focuses on the effects of the imposition of a divided public/private sphere and the subsequent devaluation of the social roles of women and sp…

Routes to the Informal Economy in New York's East Village: Crisis, Economics, and Identity
This article looks at how individuals become involved in the informal economy. Among a group of self-employed workers in New York City's East Village neighborhood, I find three routes to the informal sector: constricted opportunities in the formal sector, individual economic motivations, or individual identity motivations. Most current literature focuses on the external pressures (e.g., unemployment) that force workers into the informal economy. …
Working 'Off the Books: Patterns of Informal Market Participation within New York's East Village
Most research on the informal economy concentrates on how the informal economy operates at the international and regional levels along with the formal economy and the state. This article departs from current research on the informal economy by looking at how the informal economy operates within the lives of its participants. It considers how informal workers use informal work as both an economic and an identity resource. Informal workers create i…

Being of 'One Heart: Power and Politics among the Iraqw of Tanzania
This article explores local understandings of and experience with democracy in an Iraqw community in northern Tanzania. At independence, President Julius Nyerere in his development of a one-party state, argued that democracy in this new nation state would be modelled on that which is found in indigenous, pre-colonial political systems. In the Iraqw homeland, pre-colonial ‘democracy’ was expressed in elders’ councils in which male elders made deci…
Elders' Authority and Women's Protest: The Masay Ritual and Social Change Among the Iraqw of Tanzania
Anthropological theories of religion have demonstrated the role ofritual in supporting structures of power and authority. This article focuses on the relationship between ritual, ideology and authority over time in an Iraqw community. The analysis incorporates attention to changes in the wider political- economic context in which ritual is performed. In so doing, it illustrates the limits of ritual's effective- ness in securing consent to, and re…
