Gender, Family and Work in Tanzania

This title was first published in 2000. The essays in this volume explore the changing nature of family and gender relations in contemporary Tanzania. Particular attention is paid to the social construction of marriage and to the interplay of family life and gender relations with economic processes and forms of work. Many of the papers are based upon recent ethnographic and survey research; others provide a much needed historical perspective upon the change in family patterns and upon the ways in which gender and family relations are shaped by, and in turn help to shape, wider social institutions and processes.

Electoral Territoriality in Southern Africa

This title was first published in 2000. A comprehensive comparison of voting patterns in seven countries of Southern Africa.

Women entrepreneurship in algeria and the mena region: Culture, changes & challenges

Algeria, as an Arab country, is influenced by the local values and traditions that had impacts on the position and roles of women in society. The main functions of Algerian women are mainly focused on educating their children and taking care of their husbands. They are mainly confined to working at home or in farms with their husbands or other family members. Female occupations then evolved to occupy certain jobs, particularly pottery, knitting, weaving and traditional sewing of women's dresses, as well as other trades and occupations that prevailed. The breakout of the Algerian liberation revolution (1954-1962) led to the enrolment of women in the revolution, and that led to their participa...

This report reveals that recent trends in global aid since 2001 demonstrate the foreign policy priorities of donors in the global "war on terror". The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have captured more than a third of the new aid resources allocated by donors since 2001. While recent aid resources have been diverted, new aid pledges made in 2005 still fall far short of the urgently needed financing to meet even the minimal Millennium Development Goals. In 2007 the international community has an opportunity to replace rhetoric and policy "slights-of-hand" with policies and resources that could truly make a difference for a decade devoted to ending global poverty and creating conditions for peace.

Islamic Criminal Law in Northern Nigeria

  • Categories: Law

Annotation. In 2000 and 2001, twelve northern states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria introduced Islamic criminal law as one of a number of measures aiming at "reintroducing the shari'a." Immediately after its adoption, defendants were sentenced to death by stoning or to amputation of the hand. Apart from a few well publicised trials, however, the number and nature of cases tried under Islamic criminal law are little known. Based on a sample of trials, the present thesis discusses the introduction of Islamic criminal law and the evolution of judicial practice within the regions historical, cultural, political and religious context. The introduction of Islamic criminal law was initiated by politicians and supported by Muslim reform groups, but its potential effects were soon mitigated on higher judicial levels and aspects of the law were contained by local administrators.
