[...] The main tool of production - the hoe - was in the hands of women and children While the tools of defence, ownership and discipline were in the hands of men. [...] Politics and Gender Relations in Pre-colonial Kigezi Taking politics as the expression of cont radictions and their resolution at the superstructural level and the relations at the economic level, it is clear the nyineeka was the dominant gure at the household level. [...] However, the wife was expected to continue feeding the people in the whole compound, working for the mother-in-law at the beginning of the 60 Politics, Religion and Power in the Great Lakes Region planting season and thereafter.

Book Description
This book examines the international factors such as enforced democracy and globalization that have affected the Great Lakes region of Africa. The horrendous consequences in terms of violence and human suffering of the events in this area have been exhibited in the media, however news coverage after 1994 was at times unreliable. This book takes a look at life since then, adopting an independent, and on occasion controversial perspective.

Book Description
The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.

Book Description
Excerpt from Transportation on the Great Lakes of North America: A Dissertation to the Faculties of the Graduate Schools of Arts, Literature, and Science, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Political Economy If, however business fell off for a few years in succession, the ton nage of the fleet would surely be reduced. As the old ships became unseaworthy or as vessels were wrecked, new ones would not be built to take their places, and the tonnage would gradually decline, for peo ple do not put money in a losing venture. An increase of trahie, unlike a decrease, is quickly reflected by accessions to the fleet. Years of heavy traffic are always prosperous years for the shipyards. It then appears that when the fleet is on the decline or stationary it may be inferred that there has been no growth of traffic, and that when the fleet is rowing business is increasing.
