Rural Livelihoods and Gendered Resistance in Botswana

Rebecca Upton closely examines how women in a rural part of southern Africa give voice to contemporary issues of environment, health, economic disparity and the impact of migration on everyday lives through production of baskets for a global marketplace. These objects and cultural artifacts are both an insight into Tswana culture as well as a new means through which women produce, tell and re--¿tell narratives of cultural and global, financial success and resistance.
