dc.description.abstractWhile Zeghie’s landscape is unquestionably long-inhabited and regarded as sacred in the eyes of most of its inhabitants, the dissertation reveals a landscape that is both historically complex and socially troubled. Research and analysis sought to understand deeply rooted gender and power relations, which are fuelling poverty and marginalization. Widespread male emigration and increased numbers of female-headed households have resulted in a fierce struggle for land, and highlight problems pertaining to the absence of justice for women. Deforestation and environmental change in Zeghie are exacerbated by complex social, political-economic, and historical processes entrenched in the micro-politics of property ownership.en
