Reviews

...the author is well informed about developmental discourses and challenges through her own long-term involvement in clean energy programmes. She has presented her work not only or not even primarily to theatre scholars, but also at conferences on development and technology and sustainable energy, where she established contacts with some of the organisations she visited, offered workshops to and spent time studying. This knowledge of the problems and debates around energy, women's health, or mother-child-care programmes based on her experiences in three continents, lends the study a certain rigour in the presentation of the issues. - Elisabeth Tropper, Theatre Research
