The Introduction, “Situating Schoolgirlhood,” introduces readers to the local context of the case-study communities in Kajiado County, Kenya, and elaborates key concepts, including inhabited agency, girl-effects logic, and gendered responsibility and obligation. The chapter argues for the relevance of “postfeminism” and “girlpower”—concepts derived through analysis of girls’ lives in the Global North— for understanding Kenyan Maasai schoolgirls’ compelling insights that trouble the reductive demographic notion of “a girl enrolled in school” that animates development discourse targeting girls’ lives for intervention and investment. By tracing the outlines of “schoolgirlhood” as a specific kind of gendered and generational cultural space for girls who go to school, the introduction foreshadows subsequent chapters that each elaborate aspects of schoolgirlhood as narrated by schoolgirls, mothers, and teachers.

Nos últimos anos as indicações geográficas (IG’s) têm sido consideradas como indutoras de desenvolvimento de uma região, com a valorização dos recursos territoriais e possibilitando o surgimento de novos nichos de mercados. Nesse contexto, o trabalho tem por objetivo compreender as políticas públicas como instrumentos indutores do desenvolvimento para os territórios que tenham o registro de indicações geográficas. A pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva, bibliográfica e um estudo de caso. Decorrente da valorização dos recursos territoriais com a possibilidade do surgimento de novos nichos de mercados, nos últimos anos as IG têm sido consideradas como indutoras de desenvolvimento de uma região, principalmente a partir de políticas públicas. E este fato pode ser verificado na região delimitada pela Indicação de Procedência dos Vales da Uva Goethe. Neste sentido, as IGs podem ser pensadas como uma ferramenta de ocupação harmoniosa do espaço cultural produtivo, aliando a valorização de um produto típico e seus aspectos históricos e culturais, à conservação da biodiversidade e o desenvolvimento rural. In recent years, geographical indications (GIs) have been considered as inducing the development of a region, with the valorization of territorial resources and allowing the emergence of new market niches. In this context, the study aims to understand public policies as inducing instruments for the development of territories with geographical indications. The research is characterized as descriptive, bibliographical and a case study. Due to the valorization of the territorial resources with the possibility of the emergence of new market niches, in the last years the GIs have been considered as inducers of development of a region, mainly from public policies. And this fact can be verified in the region bounded by the Indication of Origin of Goethe Grape Vales. In this sense, GIs can be thought of as a tool for harmonious occupation of the productive cultural space, combining the valorization of a typical product and its historical and cultural aspects, biodiversity conservation and rural development.
