Feminist Futures Zusammenfassung

Feminist Futures: Reimagining Women, Culture and Development Kum-Kum Bhavnani

Straddling disciplines and continents, Feminist Futures interweaves scholarship and social activism to explore the evolving position of women in the South. Working at the intersection of cultural studies, critical development studies and feminist theory, the book's contributors articulate a radical and innovative framework for understanding the linkages between women, culture and development, applying it to issues ranging from sexuality and the gendered body to the environment, technology and the cultural politics of representation. This revised and updated edition brings together leading academics, as well as a new generation of activists and scholars, to provide a fresh perspective on the ways in which women in the South are transforming our understanding of development.

Feminist Futures Bewertungen

Readable and well written ... especially valuable in the classroom. * Choice *
[A] valuable and often challenging volume, a winding river that yields nuggets of gold. * Gender and Development *
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 *
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 *
