Title: well done, just a little dull
Product review: The title says it all: this book discusses gender and labor in the developing world. There is one article on India, but all the rest focus on sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Though this book focuses on men, most of the contributors are women. A professor of men's studies once wrote in a book that mostly women take his courses, so this doesn't surprise me.The chapters have many important thoughts. They point to how completed the issue of gender and work is, especially for poor countries with high unemployment and low GDPs. The problem is that this book is a little boring. The cover is dull. The chapters wonder a bit.This may be a helpful books for sociology and development studies majors. Nevertheless, most others will find the book pretty useless.
