Description

This Routledge academic work examines the transformative impact of political and economic change on rural Laotian women following the Vietnam War. The book traces how socialist governments reshaped women's traditional roles in agriculture, household management, and local economies, whilst subsequent economic liberalization in the late 1980s further altered the landscape of women's power and subordination. Through detailed analysis of rural women's work across fields, forests, and family spheres, the author reveals how socialist policies simultaneously curtailed commercial activities whilst recognising agricultural contributions. Essential reading for historians, development scholars, and those studying gender dynamics in Southeast Asian societies during periods of radical political transition.

Key Features

Explores how economic liberalisation in the late 1980s affected traditional sources of female power and authority in Laotian villages.
