Summary of Gender Relations in Forest Societies in Asia: Patriarchy at Odds
This volume is based on 12 studies of forest-dwelling indigenous peoples in South and South East Asia, of which six are studies on matrilineal communities, five on patrilineal communities, and one on women and hunting. It seeks to plug the gaps in existing studies on forest management in Asia, which pay scant attention to the role of women or gender relations. This volume posits that gender relations are crucial in the management of land and forests, a fact that if ignored, will only increase poverty, shortage of food, fodder and fuel, and the workload of forest-based women.General Books
