Looking from the South, Speaking from Home: African women confronting development

Jessica Horn

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue S1, 109-116

Abstract: Jessica Horn interrogates the discourse and practice of development in the post-independence, globalized world. She argues that development, defined in Euro-American forums, has been unresponsive to the varied needs of African women. She shows that it is African women themselves who are now confronting the Euro-centric presumptions of development, and are working to better the lives of women on the continent through place-based coalitions and culturally sensitive activism.
