| Publisher: | Universidad de Guadalajara |
| Description: | This article examines rural Bolivian youth within farm households engaged in participatory agroecology development with an ngo. A central component of this work involves ‘leadership’ training. Despite certain politicized aspects, it tends to operate in neoliberal and technical ways, resulting in greatly diverging experiences for participants along gendered and generational lines. e buzzword nature of the term raises questions of how it is used and what is glossed over. ese issues are examined through vignettes, with particular attention to one teenaged girl who attended workshops to become a leader in organic production and became a symbol of the ngo’s success with youth and women’s ‘empowerment.’ Her motives to participate involved familial pressure, a desire to network toward relocation, and nally, some interest in the sustainability of her household’s farm and community. |
