Description

Explore the changing roles of women in Southeast Asia through this academic study by Routledge. After the Vietnam War, the rise of socialist governments across the former Indochina region brought significant shifts to local structures. In Laos, more than a decade of socialist reorganization preceded the economic liberalization of the late 1980s. This book examines how these political and economic transitions impacted the lives of rural women. Traditionally, Laotian women sustained their households and local economies through labor in the field, forest, and family. This text looks at how socialist policies altered the context of their power and subordination, including how certain policies curtailed commercial activities while recognizing specific types of work. Ideal for students and researchers of Asian history and sociology, this work provides a detailed look at the social reorganization of Laos. It offers a clear perspective on how economic shifts and government policies affect the traditional livelihoods and social standing of women in rural environments.
