Re-negotiating the marital power structure : the case of inter-racial/ethnic marriages in Zimbabwe
The research work on which this article is based was concerned with changes in the internal dynamics of marital relationships when marriages were relocated to a changed socio-cultural environment. This article focuses on the link between spousal access to resources and conjugal power relationships as reflected in the marital decision-making process. For the research couples, the transition to the new normative order meant changes in spousal access to resources, spousal decision-making patterns and the marital power structure. This article considers how, for these couples, the marital power structure altered and was renegotiated in their new environment.
