J6mf Gala~ka From Yola, Nigeria I wish to use this medium to express my profound ;ippreciations for having received copies of the IFDA Dossier free of charge. The few copies I have read has convinced me that 1FDA is prepared to take development to the grassroot and in its real terms. Issues discussed in this magazine liave served as an eye-opener to me ie. issues relating to environmental protection and destruction, world economic systems. the native scientific development and related topics.

ifda dossier 74 november/december 1989 sources/fuentes N.B. Publications mentioned in the following section are not available from IFDA but, depending on the case, from bookshops or publishers whose addresses are indicated at the end of this section. Local space Amartya Sen et al, The Standard of Living (Cambridge University Press, 1987) 125pp. For academics, and ministers of finance, the IMF and the World Bank, "the standard of living" is an economic phenomenon. They believe that they determine such standards through various policy manipulations. Policiesdo influencelabour productivity, and consequently standards of living. However, irrespective of government interventions, and blissfully imper- vious of "markets", ordinary men and women determine their own standards through "self-provisioning". Keith Hart's thoughtful essay in this stimulating volume is particularly productive for those working at the grassroots. In almost every essay here, philosophy is interwoven with econo- mics. This volume questions the relevan- ce of the concept of the standard of living as an economic phenomenon. There is more to it than command over goods and services. A higher standard of living is as- sociated with increased opportunities, as well as, or even more than, a bundle of commodities. A functioning democratic structure - not that which passes for democracy in many Third World countries - can be a direct contribution to a higher standard of living. The "canonization" of the market and the consequent premium attached to diverse speculations, in con- trast to the neglect of the solid achieve- ments, for example of Nobel Prize win- ners, affects adversely the quality of life. This volume takes a step forward in arguing for a standard of living, which incorporates within it a measure of the intangible - that of human happiness. (LS) Stephanie Urdang, And Still they Dance: Women, War and the Struggle for Change in Mozambique (London: Earthscan, 1989) 256pp. Since the overthrow of Portuguese rule in 1975, Mozambique and its Frelimo government have been constantly under threat. Western attention and aid have focussed upon drought and famine: but systematic attacks from the Renamo 'rebels", backed by the South African government, have exploited these dis- asters and inflicted much greater suffering. Throughout the fourteen years of civil war, women have been fighting, both politically and socially, for their independence in an independent state, Stephanie Urdang documents the lives of women in factories and fields, village cooperatives and state farms. And Still They Dance testifies to the enormous hardships that many have endured: but also to their unquenchable determination. Jan Hoeksema, Women and Social Forestry (Wageningen: BOS, 1989) 38pp. Lilia Labidi, Cabra Hachma: Sexualite et tradition (Tunis: Annawras, 1989) 423pp. La parole des femmes, insidieuse, orageu- se, comment en parler? Comment en rendre compte autrement que ne Ie font generalement les hommes? L'enjeu de ce nouveau livre de Lilia Labidi reside dans cette volonte de se demarquer du dis- cours dominant, rnettre des mots la ou Ie silence avait longtemps prfs refuge et denoncer les limites d'un champ de savoir qui excluait cette parole. Aussi sa reflexion s'articule-t-elle autour de trois axes: deve- nir fernme dans une societe arabo-musul- mane, feminite et tradition et, enfin, dis-
