Women's oppression is regarded as the product of the economic, political, and social structures of capitalism. For Karl Marx, power in capitalist societies derives from the division of labor in production, giving rise to the fundamental class division between the owners of the means of production (the bourgeoisie) and the non owners (the proletariat) who sell their labor power. A key term in explaining this relation is exploitation, meaning the appropriation by non producers (the bourgeoisie under capitalism) of a portion of the product of the direct producers (the proletariat under capitalism). Marxist anthropology has applied the concept of exploitation to social relations in non capitalist societies and, following Friedrich Engels, Marxist-feminist anthropologists have linked the oppression of women to production relations in which men exploit the labor of women

This thesis focuses on the consequences of the new development, principally in regard to the 1,000 indigenous Soroakans whose former agricultural land is now the site for the mining town. It presents an analysis of developing capitalist relations of production in the mining town, investigating changes not only in the sphere of production manifested in daily life as new forms of work, but also in culture and ideology. New ideological forms have arisen in the context of the evolving class structure. The metaphor used in the title derives from the evaluation which the Soroakans make of the new order: they are the'stepchildren' of the progress occurring around them.
