De la costa a la sierra

de Emma Zevallos A.

"This book actually contains two studies on rural women, one done on the coast (Ica) and the other in the highlands (Ancash). Both studies attempt to understand the intra-household dynamics of peasant production and household reproduction. Focuses on the changing roles of women due to deteriorating rural conditions and prolonged economic crisis. Underlying both analyses is the complementary sexual division of labor in rural areas based on gender subordination"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
