Clothing. All of this work is done without mechanical
assistance, 18S burdensome and labour intensive. The main
point which has to be brought out is that women's subsistence
production is carried out alongside their involvement and
labour activity in the commodity production sector, i.e., the
subsistence side of household production is the preserve of
women who also work with their husbands, brothers and sons in
the production of commodities for market exchange.
The form of women's subsistence production varies in
different Third World countries but the form is generally
related to the forms of social class relations in which the
peasant household is involved in the social formation in
general. Thus, for example, in Africa it is quite common for
men to leave the family farm and to work on colonial
Plantations, export industries and even immigrate to Europe,
where their wages do not cover their families' consumption
needs and women's subsistence agricultural production
continues to support the rest of the family and even husbands
and sons in times of unemployment and illness. This type of
relationship is typical of South Africa, Mozambique, Algeria
and Kenya. (11) The situation in the Jordan Valley, while not
identical, has more in common with agricultural relations in
areas of Asia, inasmuch as it is characterised by irrigated
farming techniques and labour-intensive farming which require
the participation of the whole of the peasant family in
agricultural cultivation. (12) In this situation the family
as a whole provides the workforce and labour surplus or
surplus product is extracted from the family as a collective
