Gender, space and empowerment in rural Hausaland, northern Nigeria

Robson, Elsbeth January 2002 (has links)
Reducing gender inequalities by enabling women's empowerment is a major focus of the literature and practices of gender and development. The work of this thesis contributes to debates about female empowerment, especially for peasant women in peripheral capitalist economies. The central themes of enquiry are power relations of gender and space in the socio-economic processes in which peasant households and their members are embedded. The focus of investigation is the extent to which commodity exchange outside the household reinforces, or reduces, women's position of power/disempowerment. The central question taken for analysis is whether income earning via trading empowers women, thus reducing their subordination. This hypothesis is widely accepted. Many NGOs (non-governmental organisations) and other development institutions base efforts around the notion that income earning is liberating for women. This hypothesis is investigated for rural Hausa women in Northern Nigeria who are secluded within their homes by the religio-cultural practice of purdah, but who engage in trade, often through the agency of children. The major empirical part of the study develops and applies an original framework for analysis of empowerment that identifies and maps gender divisions of labour and space in the spheres of production, reproduction and circulation in which rural Hausa men and women are embedded. The overall conclusion reached is that gender divisions of work, both inside and outside rural Hausa households, and especially in trade, reflect and sustain the subordination of women and their inferior position relative to men, especially through the control of space. The notion of income earning as universally empowering for women does not hold because rural Hausa women engaged in the market are not significantly empowered by their income earning because of the complex realities of patriarchy whereby women have weak bargaining powers.

S'identifier, se matérialiser et se penser Hausa: anthropologie des dynamiques urbaines et islamiques au Niger / To identify, materialize and think as a hausa: anthropology of urban and islamic dynamics in Niger.

Lo Sardo, Sébastien 10 June 2010 (has links)
Cette thèse traite d’une série de dynamiques identitaires qui marquent le pays Hausa nigérien contemporain. Elle est fondée sur trois missions d’enquêtes ethnographiques, conduites au Niger entre janvier 2006 et décembre 2008. La prise en compte de l’extrême mobilité des populations au Niger a également conduit à effectuer un travail de terrain auprès de la communauté nigérienne implantée en Belgique. <p>Notre approche est une ethnographie attentive aux dynamiques de matérialisation des identités, aux pratiques et aux objets par lesquels les personnes et les communautés qui se revendiquent « hausa » rendent effective une telle affirmation. <p>Il s’agit également d’interroger, dans leur rapport aux dynamiques de l’identité, les flux migratoires, commerciaux et médiatiques qui traversent les espaces urbains et ruraux du Sahel nigérien.<p>Notre recherche vise à saisir la dynamique d’hausaisation (expansion de la langue hausa et des pratiques perçues comme hausa) qui marque les paysages identitaires du Niger. Cette dynamique est analysée au travers des stratégies de reconversion identitaire de migrants touaregs, le plus souvent de basse classe, implantés dans les villes de Sud. Elle est également illustrée par le peuplement de l’un des quartiers périphériques de Niamey. Cet espace présente, en effet, la caractéristique d’être pris dans une dynamique d’hausaisation qui soit à la fois bien avancée et relativement récente. <p>Enfin, ces dynamiques sont analysées par le prisme du « réveil islamique » qui, depuis la fin des années 1970, marque le pays Hausa. Il s’agit notamment de montrer comment ce réveil islamique est fonction de la place occupée par le kasar hausa au sein des géographies globales de l’islam contemporain. <p> / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
