The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continues to
contend with longstanding tensions surrounding gender and race. Yet
women of color in the United States and across the Global South
adopt ...and adapt the faith to their contexts, many sharing the high
level of satisfaction expressed by Latter-day Saints in general.
Caroline Kline explores the ways Latter-day Saint women of color in
Mexico, Botswana, and the United States navigate gender norms, but
also how their moral priorities and actions challenge Western
feminist assumptions. Kline analyzes these traditional religious
women through non-oppressive connectedness, a worldview that blends
elements of female empowerment and liberation with a broader focus
on fostering positive and productive relationships in different
realms. Even as members of a patriarchal institution, the women
feel a sense of liberation that empowers them to work against
oppression and against alienation from both God and other human
beings.
Vivid and groundbreaking, Mormon Women at the
Crossroads merges interviews with theory to offer a rare
discussion of Latter-day Saint women from a global perspective.
Transformations on the Ground considers the ways in which power in all its forms-local, international, legal, familial-affects the collision of global with local concerns over access to land and ...control over its use. In Botswana's struggle to access international economies, few resources are as fundamental and fraught as control over land. On a local level, land and control over its use provides homes, livelihoods, and the economic security to help lift populations out of impoverishment. Yet on the international level, global capital concerns compete with strategies for sustainable development and economic empowerment. Drawing on extensive archival research, legal records, fieldwork, and interviews with five generations of family members in the village of Molepolole, Anne M. O. Griffiths provides a sweeping consideration of the scale of power from global economy to household experience in Botswana. In doing so, Griffiths provides a frame through which the connections between legal power and local engagement can provide fresh insight into our understanding of the global.

This book examines how Botswana overcame the legacies of exceptional resource deficiency, colonial neglect and a harsh physical environment to transform itself from one of the poorest nations ...of the world to a middle income economy with significant reductions in people's poverty. It reviews the interactions of economic, social and institutional policies and how these reinforced one another to produce the poverty outcomes that they did from the initial socio-economic conditions. In particular it illustrates how the chosen development strategies consistently tied social and economic policies to achieve, on the one hand, re-distribution, protection and reproduction and, on the other, investment in production and human capabilities. The substantive areas covered include trends in economic development strategies and outcome; social policies and strategies and their impact on poverty and productive capacity; income and wealth distribution; the role of organized interest groups in policy development; and institutional development, state capacity and politics.

The paper combines various methodologies to assessing the level of the exchange rate in Botswana, explicitly taking into account the implications of its dependency on diamond exports. Real exchange ...rate estimation indicates that, after a period of overvaluation, Botswana's real effective exchange rate is now broadly in line with economic fundamentals. The projected current account path is also consistent with external sustainability, defined to ensure sufficient savings of diamond wealth in order to maintain a stable import and consumption path through 2050. Sustaining consumption over the longer term will however require to address obstacles to non-diamond exports' competitiveness.
