Global Feminism

This important study is pitched to an academic community that remains highly patriarchal. Thus, it should make a valuable impact on this audience. ~Choice, Highly Recommended

Global Feminism is an extremely useful and important volume that systematically examines transnational women's movements as well as raises a number of important theoretical questions about global rights and transnational organizing. ~Amrita Basu,editor of The Challenge of Local Feminism: Women's Movements in Global Perspective

Global Feminism offers a powerful analysis of the intersection of feminism and globalization, national women's movements and transnational politics, and activism and scholarship. Many of the authors reflect on their experiences as activists to produce a rich examination of feminist mobilization in the 21st century. Among the many strengths of this collection are the ways in which the authors make visible the contradictions of globalization for women's empowerment and evaluate feminist strategies for challenging male domination in its many forms. This book advances our understanding of how to increase social justice and democratic practice in movement organizations and feminist networks. The authors vividly demonstrate what feminism has to offer all movements for social justice. ~Nancy A. Naples,author of Feminism and Method: Ethnography, Discourse Analysis and Activist Research
