AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses the differential participation of men and women in a rural Bamana community (central Mali) in commercial gardening. It shows that dominant Bamana social and cultural patterns lead to a gender-based system of access to commercially viable productive resources in which men continued to benefit at the expense of women.
