AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of Luguru or Waluguru peoples’ experiences with socioeconomic changes due their incorporation into the state, first as part of the British colonial empire then, since 1960, as a constituent of an independent Tanzanian nation. The focus is on the specific ways in which the Luguru have articulated the gender dimensions of these changes at the levels of farming households, matrilineal groups, and multi-lineage/clan village communities. The discussion draws on comparison of lived experiences of selected informants a highland locality. The analysis emphasizes the continuity of gendered roles and expectations in ways that challenge popular images of a sharply dichotomized division of labor and power between men and women at different levels of interaction, including in the implementation of publically-funded development programs.
