"Its strength is conceptual - not in telling the reader what to think about agrarian change, gender and land tenure reform, but in rethinking definitions, making new distinctions, giving us conceptual tools and showing us how to use them contextually." (Development and Change)
"The outstanding scholarship behind thier conclusions - skilfully woven together by Shahra Razavi in a powerful introduction best appreciated after reading the other contributions - makes this book required reading for anyone concerned with gender justice in land rights (and not only in an agrarian context)." (Gender, Place and Culture)
"This book provides a very useful consideration of the relationships between agrarian change, gender and land rights in a number of developing countries... The book is free of jargon and will be of value to final year undergraduates specialising in development and postgraduates looking for a useful summary of the issues and a guide to further reading."
