Description
Summary:A response to Mike Powell's article (see abstract in SOPODA 18:1) on subjective perceptions focuses on gender & culture issues facing developing practitioners. A personal account is presented from the perspective of an Indian woman of negative responses to her research on women in development. It is suggested that development practitioners must assume a side, at both the material & ideological level, in debates that challenge gender & class hierarchies. S. Jameson
