Extractions: The French island of Mayotte is the oldest and most southerly of the Comoros. Encircled by a coral reef forming the world's largest lagoon, with a spectacular and exotic underwater world, its glorious interior is of volcanic peaks, thundering waterfalls, dense jungle and lush plantations.

Extractions: I ssue 10: C ulture This issue of In Brief looks at connections between culture, gender and development. The lead article discusses how 'gender and development' can be seen as an imposition on other cultures, how far this is a reality, and what we can do about it. The second article on 'whiteness' calls for examining white people's cultures in order to combat racism in development. Finally, an article on the CEDAW treaty and the reservations by Arab state signatories, shows how arguments about defending culture can be mobilised to obstruct gender equality. This issue is part of Bridge's forthcoming Cutting Edge Pack on Culture. Culture, Gender and Development Gender and Development - Imposing western ideas on other cultures? 'In my work in India, I was operating in my own society and culture, and so was speaking as an 'insider'. Despite this, it was in my work for gender equity that I most often experienced allegations from different quarters that this work was against our culture, violated our traditions, and the worst criticism of all in the Indian context, that it was 'Westernised'.

Extractions: CULTURE The Comoros has hospitals on each of the main islands but suffers from a shortage of medical personnel, modern facilities, and supplies. Comorians largely depend on traditional medicines and healers. Those who have more advanced health problems and can afford to do so seek medical assistance in either Madagascar or France. While infant mortality has decreased and life expectancy has increased to about 60 years on average, there are still several growing health concerns. Less than half of the population has access to safe drinking water, making cholera and parasitic infestation prominent. Other serious illnesses are malaria, tuberculosis, and, to a lesser extent, leprosy and AIDS.
