Join us on April 8 for an Author Meets Critics panel on the book, Sweet Deal, Bitter Landscape: Gender Politics and Liminality in Tanzania’s New Enclosures, by Professor Youjin Chung, Assistant Professor in the Energy and Resources Group and the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at UC Berkeley. Sweet Deal, Bitter Landscape is a feminist ethnography that traces the lived experiences of diverse rural women and men as they struggled for survival and meaning in the shadow of a stalled large-scale agricultural land deal.

Professor Chung will be joined by discussants Mariane Ferme, Professor of Anthropology at UC Berkeley; Michael Watts, Professor Emeritus of Geography at UC Berkeley; and Sai Balakrishnan, Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley. Daniel Aldana Cohen, Assistant Professor of Sociology will moderate the event.
