Críticas:

'Provides a rich perspective on the lived experiences and agencies of women. A highly creative endeavour that will be valuable to activists and academics committed to both agendas of social justice and nuanced understandings of the effects of development.' Leela Fernandes, author of Transnational Feminism in the United States 'A diverse and exciting tapestry of themes and authors, drawn from different disciplines and countries, assessing the situation of women in the South and speaking to the multiple challenges for the future.' Lourdes Beneria, Cornell University (Emerita) 'A candid and hard-hitting agenda for feminist scholarship and activism in the South in the twenty first century.' Patricia Mohammed, University of the West Indies 'While providing an unflinching account of the ravages of globalization, the authors uncover visions of radically transformative feminisms that are rooted in women's daily struggles for survival. The women, culture and development approach that the authors embrace is more prescient and necessary than ever.' Amrita Basu, Amherst College

Reseña del editor:

The contributors to this volume work at the intersection of cultural studies, feminist studies, and critical development studies to articulate a new framework that they call Women, Culture and Development. The editors trace its genealogies and potential in their introduction, and the several parts of the book ground it by applying it to a range of issues including sexuality and the gendered body; environment, technology and science; and the cultural politics of representation. The result is a fresh vantage point on pressing issues of global development and a new paradigm for scholars and activists to consider. This interdisciplinary book, spanning diversely situated regions of the world, connects scholarship and social change and juxtaposes the past, present and the future to suggest a new lens through which to look at the situation of women in the global south. This volume will be of interest to scholars in development, international, global and comparative studies; women's studies; cultural studies; and the humanities and social sciences associated with all of these.
