Paper presented [1990?].I am going to argue that twentieth century trans-formations in the political economy of Western Kenya, together with processes of differentiation, have been closely bound up with profound changes in gender relations, and in the ideologies which justify them. These changes have been slow, piecemeal, non-uniform and non-linear. They have been the subject of intense conflicts within households which have centred around questions of access to and control over resources, and in which, as well as power relations, ideas about rights and responsibilities have been critically important.enDemography.
