Annotated Bibliography and Intended Expansion of Page

[edit]

I plan on expanding the information on poverty and different types of inequality (income, racial, gender, etc.) in Honduras. I’ll do this through adding subsections the the Economy and Demographics sections of the page. Under the Economy page I’ve already added a “Poverty” subsection and will add one for “Wealth Inequality.” Under the Demographics page I will add “Gender” and “Race” subsections which will include breakdowns of these categories within the Honduran population and information on related inequality.

Here are the sources I plan on using! Each of the first ten can be found through Google Scholar. The last is a webpage and the link is provided.

1. Klasen, Stephan; Otter, Thomas; Villalobos, Carlos (2012) : The dynamics of inequality change in a highly dualistic economy: Honduras, 1991-2007, Discussion papers, Ibero America Institute for Economic Research, No. 215

This source will be used to expand the information on economic (wealth / income) inequality in Honduras. I think it will provide an accurate reflection of inequality's development in the recent past as well as contribute to information on inequality in the last decade that I collect from other sources.

2. DeWalt, Billie R, et al. “Honduras: Population, Inequality, and Resource Destruction .”Population and Land Use in Developing Countries: Report of a Workshop, National Academies Press, 1993, pp. 106–123.

This source will offer information on how changes in the population led to resource destruction and inequality. While I may add information found here to the section on environment my main focus is the relationship between population and inequality for the inequality subsection of the Economy section I will add.

3. Johnston, Jake, and Stephan Lefebvre. “Honduras Since the Coup: Economic and Social Outcomes.” Center for Economic and Policy Research , Nov. 2013.

This source provides information on the Economic and social outcomes of the coup in 2009. Its executive summary will be useful in providing a quick overview of the economic growth and subsequent increasing inequality in Honduras. I will also use it to provide information on unemployment in Honduras.

4. Gindling, T.h., and Katherine Terrell. “Minimum Wages, Globalization, and Poverty in Honduras.” World Development, vol. 38, no. 6, 2010, pp. 908–918., doi:10.1016/j.worlddev.2010.02.013.

This source will be used to explain the role of minimum wage legislation in contributing to poverty reduction in Honduras.

5. Bailey, Stanley R, et al. “Race, Color, and Income Inequality across the Americas.”Demographic Research , vol. 31, no. 24, 19 Sept. 2014, pp. 735–756.

This source will be my primary source for the expansion of information on Racial Inequality in Honduras. I think it is a perfect source because it also discusses its connection to income inequality. This was an adequate reflection of the connection between race and socioeconomic status in Honduras can be presented.

6. Chambers, Glenn Anthony. Race, Nation, and West Indian Immigration to Honduras, 1890-1940. Louisiana State University Press, 2010.

This source offers a history of the racial make up of Honduras. It will be used in a section on race in Honduras. I may also include some of the information here on the History page.

7. Rowlands, Jo. Questioning Empowerment: Working with Women in Honduras. Oxfam, 2008.

This source will be used in the Gender Inequality section I plan to add. While other sources will help me develop information on the extent of gender inequality, this one serves to present empowerment as a proposed solution to gender inequality. I will be sure to reference the author when presenting her opinions so as not to create a biased tone.

8. López, Ramón, and Claudia Romano. “Rural Poverty in Honduras: Asset Distribution and Liquidity Constraints.” Rural Poverty in Latin America , Dept. of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Maryland at College Park, 1995, pp. 227–228.

Information from this source will contribute to explanations of poverty in Honduras as it relates to economic sectors. It will help draw connections between inequality and the split between rural / urban lifestyles in Honduras.

9. Morley, Samuel, Eduardo Nakasone, and Valeria Piñeiro. The impact of CAFTA on employment, production and poverty in Honduras. Intl Food Policy Res Inst, 2008.

This information will be used in the Poverty subsection of the Economy section in order to expand on the role of CAFTA on poverty and employment. It also offers a breakdown of occupation by gender will will contribute to expanding information on the intersectionality between different forms of equality.

10. Bradshaw, Sarah, and Brian Linneker. Challenging Women's Poverty: Perspectives on Gender and Poverty Reduction Strategies from Nicaragua and Honduras. Catholic Institute for International Relations, 2003.

This source will help expand both the gender section as well as the poverty section. It provides information on poverty reduction amongst women. This source is beneficial as it expands on the intersection between gender and poverty in Honduras.

11. “The World Factbook: HONDURAS.” Central Intelligence Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, 20 Sept. 2017.

link:https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ho.html

This source is to be used only for demographic information on racial and gender breakdowns within the nation. This information will be used to preface any information on inequality related to race or gender.
