Description

"Close examination of several hamlets of Guatemala, where a long dry spell and consequent, disproportionate male departures led to fundamental shifts in gender roles in agriculture, with women involved in a wide array of activities. Uses field notes, survey and official data, and interviews with women; these also detail artisanal activities and credit (-seeking) histories, and show new opportunities alongside constraints on women's actions, both old and new"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
