bases for partially incorporating gender as a criterion for refugee sta- tus. In "Women and Refugee Status," Heaven Crawley describes how UK asylum policy has moved in the opposite direction to a hard stance, rejecting any notion that modest suggestions made by the UNHCR on how gender might be incorporated into such crite- ria are binding on States Party. Lisa Gilad The Problem of Gender-Related Persecution and Sidney Waldron response, "Anthropologists As 'Expert Witnesses,'" complete the volume. Lisa Gilad's chapter is included posthumously. I contacted Lisa Gilad early in the course of soliciting authors, and in the subsequent to-and-fro that inevitably follows, she sent me a draft paper on the use of anthropological input in establishing gender dimensions of refugee determination, along with a query on whether it could be a basis for a more developed treatment. Lisa's partner Robert Paine quickly replied to my affirmative response that she had tragically died in an automobile accident just a few days earlier. I have included her draft paper, which, because of the circumstances has only been lightly edited. Sidney Waldron, whose work Lisa uses as an extended example, has kindly provided a response. -xviii- |
