349. Peters, Pauline. “Gender, Developmental Cycles and Historical Process: A Critique of Recent Research on Women in Botswana.” Journal of Southern African Studies 10:1 (October 1983): 100-122.

Selectively raises a number of critical questions about present trends as they relate mainly to rural women in Botswana. The particular challenge has been to integrate macro and micro perspectives. First the author illustrates the shortcomings of an undifferentiated perspective on the labor migration economies of southern Africa, with particular reference to Botswana and Lesotho; then she argues that patriarchy is not a useful answer to the model’s particular failure to consider gender. She considers the achievements and disadvantages of the close focus on household topologies, and examines current understanding of female-headed and matrifocal households.
