Description
Reversed Realities: A critical examination of gender hierarchies in development thought. Naila Kabeer challenges the dominant frameworks that have traditionally marginalized women's needs in development policy, tracing the emergence of "women" as a specific category and exploring alternative approaches to analyzing power relations. The household is identified as a primary site for constructing power relations, and the book assesses the inadequacies of the poverty line as a measuring tool. Kabeer also provides a critical overview of population control, an issue that has been fiercely contested by feminists. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the need for feminist leadership in shaping population policy. By examining the construction of power relations and the impact of development policies on women's lives, Reversed Realities offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between gender, poverty, and power.
