Women and African Development: a Partial Bibliography and Reviews of Books Published in the 1990s

Unedited: Work in progress, as at 20 November, 1999

by Dr Margaret Snyder, Co-founder, African Centre for Women, UNECA; First Director, UNIFEM; Fulbright scholar, Makerere University Email: pegsnyder@aol.com

This social sciences bibliography was prepared as basis for a bibliographic essay on 100 books for CHOICE magasine, that will be published early next year. It is a work in progress, to be updated occasionally. In addition to books (and a few journal articles) on women and development that were published in the 1990s (an astonishing amount!), some 'classics' (ex Boserup) are included, as are some general books on Africa and on women - the latter as background to the issue. A special effort was made to find books by African publishers - the reader may consult http://www.hanszell.co.uk for quite complete information on them.

Most of the classifications of reviews are from Proquest searches on the internet, with keys as follows:
                   fv=favourable review; mx=mixed review; neg=negative review.
Note: No prizes are offered for finding errors, of which there are probably many! Timely circulation was chosen over perfection. Kindly inform the author of any ommissions of books (not booklets or pamphlets).
