Development for whom?: Even though incomes have increased as fishing becomes more technology- and capital-intensive, they often do not translate into a better quality of life for the fishing community, particularly for women

Abstract

I recently saw the film Darwin’s Nightmare. While, on the one hand, it highlights the impact that the introduction of the Nile perch in Lake Victoria has had on the ecosystem, on the other, it also vividly reveals the interlinkages between neoliberal globalization and patriarchy that result in inhuman lives for people who actually live around this ‘highly productive’ lake. The film was well done, although a bit long-drawn-out. Yet it has the effect of entering one’s bones and arousing anger from within.
