WOMEN MINERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Voices in Development Management

Series Editor:

Margaret Grieco

Napier University

The Voices in Development Management series provides a forum in which grass roots organisations and development practitioners can voice their views and present their perspectives alongside the conventional development experts. One of the goals of the series is to provide a forum for explicit debates between various voices in development. Many important and hitherto neglected development issues such as gender and transport or the micro credit needs of low income communities are now given the public and professional attention they richly deserve.

In many ways mining and social research are parallel activities. Both intervene in and disturb a landscape by probing and digging for a rich lode of ore or layer of stratum that has hitherto lain covered, or unknown, perhaps until now unvalued. Like bauxite, women's knowledge has lain potentially accessible, part of the surficial landscape, for centuries untouched by the technical intervention of dynamite and front-end loader, tape-recorder and questionnaire, simply because society has had no use for it. Today, bauxite is mined by aluminium can makers and women's knowledge is mined by feminist researchers.
